The IAE standard sheep trough is a reliable and practical feeding solution designed to meet the needs of sheep farmers. Constructed with high-quality, galvanised steel, it’s built to handle tough farm conditions while offering ease of use and longevity.

Standard stock size is 2745mm, although the trough is available in a number of sizes to order. Visit the IAE website to find out more. The trough is made from galvanised steel, providing strong resistance to rust and corrosion. This ensures the product can withstand prolonged exposure to rain and harsh weather conditions, making it highly durable in an outdoor farming environment.

Thoughtfully designed with sheep behaviour in mind, the trough prevents sheep from stepping into the feeding area, keeping feed off the ground and free from contamination. The raised edges are high enough to discourage trampling while still providing easy access to food. Despite its sturdy build, the trough is lightweight enough to be moved easily. This is particularly useful for farmers who rotate grazing areas frequently and need portable equipment that can be repositioned quickly.

The edges of the trough are rounded, which minimises the risk of injury to the animals while feeding. This ensures both the safety and comfort of the sheep. Featuring a simple design, it allows for quick cleaning, making it easier to maintain hygiene. Farmers can easily wipe down the interior after feeding, reducing the risk of mould or bacteria growth.

The use of galvanised steel means the trough won’t suffer from rust or decay over time, even in extreme weather conditions. This significantly reduces the need for replacement or repairs, saving time and money in the long run. Additionally, by keeping the feed elevated and away from dirt and mud, this trough helps maintain the quality of the food, reducing waste and preventing illness among livestock.

Whether managing a small flock or a large herd, the IAE standard sheep trough offers an efficient, cost-effective way to manage feeding. Its durable design, ease of mobility, and focus on keeping feed clean make it an ideal choice for any farm setup.
