Mobile liquid feeding
Mash comes first
It could hardly be any easier: with the TEWE mobile feeding cart, the warm mash feed comes first! This means that sucklings, calves and lambs receive the feed they need several times a day from day one, without the need to install pipes for the preferred liquid/mash feed. It’s so simple: Milk or powder is mixed with warm water in the mobile mixing tank with dosing unit and then dispensed directly into the troughs of the farrowing pens via a simple manual valve. This means that the small piglets can be reared as close to the sow as possible. With this innovative, low-cost suckling feeding, TEWE has responded to growing calls for more animal welfare and species-appropriate husbandry.
TEWE offers this mobile concept in particular for smaller farms where a permanently installed feeding system is not cost-effective. In this process, it is especially important to ensure good hygiene. TEWE has made provisions for this, and recommends the use of a TEWE cleaning device for the feed troughs and milk pots used.
In conclusion
TEWE’s mobile liquid feeding system is a convenient and flexible solution which is particularly suitable for smaller farms that cannot use a permanently installed feeding system. The system allows sucklings, calves and lambs to be fed warm mash several times a day, delivered directly to them without permanently installed pipes. By simply mixing milk or milk powder with warm water in the mobile mixing tank and then dispensing it via a manual valve, species-appropriate feeding and increased animal welfare are ensured.
Benefits
- Ideal solution for small farms: TEWE mobile feeding is a practical solution for smaller farms where a permanently installed feeding system may not be cost-effective. This means small farms also get to reap the benefits of modern feeding technology.
- Individual dispensing of liquid (warm) mash to piglets: The mobile system allows suckling piglets to receive the required feed multiple times daily from day one, without the need to install permanent feeding pipes. This contributes to improved animal welfare and species-appropriate husbandry.
- Mixing of meal and pellet piglet prestarter: The option of mixing and administering meal and pellet feed directly on site ensures optimal feed supply to the animals and promotes their healthy development.
- Easy to handle and operate: The feeding cart is easy to handle and has a convenient hand valve for dispensing the feed. It is operated with a 230 volt automatic cable drum, which makes the system easier to use.
Features
Flexible and individual:
The mobile feeding cart enables the mixing and feeding of liquid or solid (mash) feed, such as meal and pellet prestarter, milk, or milk powder. This enables flexible and individual feeding of various animal species.
Homogeneous feed structure:
The use of various agitators and speed settings ensures a homogeneous feed structure and prevent separation. The recirculation option also helps ensure the consistency of the feed.
Dispensing:
The feed is dispensed via a nozzle which enables precise dosing. Alternatively, it can be dispensed via the pen partition, which allows flexible adjustment to various barn configurations.
Durable and practice-proven:
The feeding cart stands out for its easy handling and long service life thanks to its stable chassis, which sits atop solid rubber tyres with a position lock. This ensures reliable use even under demanding conditions.
Hygiene:
All internal surfaces of the tank are cleaned using a cleaning nozzle, making manual cleaning unnecessary. This ensures a high standard of hygiene and cleanliness in the feeding system.
Overall, TEWE mobile liquid feeding is an innovative, practical solution for species-appropriate, efficient feeding of young animals which not only meets the requirements of small farms, but also guarantees a high standard of hygiene.
