Description

As former pig farmers, we understand better than anyone what is essential for an optimal pig feeding system. Keeping feed costs under control is crucial, as feed is the biggest expense for a pig farmer. That is why we have developed the VERBA Mewaco pig feeder. The Mewaco feeder for pigs and piglets is used and valued by pig farmers worldwide for its excellent performance and durability.

Mewaco pig feeding trough design

The VERBA Mewaco pig feeder has been specially designed for fattening pigs and piglets, and excels at dispensing fine pig feed. This includes meal and pellets, possibly mixed with CCM, without any bridging occurring in the feed. This feature makes the Mewaco pig feeder particularly suitable for self-mixers, which often struggle with the accurate dispensing of fine pig feed. Thanks to the unique design of the pig feed trough, the feed continues to flow freely, ensuring optimal feed conversion ratio (FCR).

Separate pig drinking troughs

What really sets the Mewaco pig feeder apart is the separate drinking trough with Stainless steel Verba nipple. This ensures that water pollution is prevented and that the pig feed remains free from moisture. This minimises the formation of clumps and prevents blockages. Not only does this contribute to a more efficient pig feeding system, but it also reduces the risk of health problems in the pigs. This, in turn, leads to lower veterinary costs and higher productivity.

Sustainable materials

The VERBA Mewaco pig feeder is made from high-quality stainless steel and PE, making it extremely durable. This also ensures that this pig feeder can withstand the harsh conditions in a pigsty. This pig feeder is fitted with an internal stainless steel agitator rod, which prevents the feed from becoming stuck. This makes the Mewaco pig feeder suitable for feeding moister feed, such as CCM, without disrupting the flow of feed.

Furthermore, the Mewaco pig feeder is easy to adjust using the indestructible spindle, allowing the feeder to be quickly and precisely adapted to the pigs’ needs. Optional accessories, such as stainless steel mounting brackets and lids, offer added convenience and flexibility during the installation and maintenance of the pig feeder.

In short, the VERBA Mewaco feed trough offers pig farmers a reliable and efficient solution for feeding their pigs, with a focus on maximum performance, durability and ease of use. With its proven quality and versatility, the Mewaco pig feeding trough is a valuable investment for any modern pig farm.

Many satisfied customers

We have received ABZ Animal Feed: a wonderful film of the Krüs family’s impressive fattening pig barn, which houses 3,500 fattening pigs. The Krüs family tested various brands of pig feeders, and the Mewaco emerged as the best option. The Mewaco excellently dispenses the fine, flour-like compound feed that they mix themselves using their own CCM. We are noticing that more and more pig farmers in the Netherlands are switching to feeding finer dry feed, and the Mewaco pig feeder was developed specifically for this purpose 20 years ago. Abroad, where there are many self-mixing farms, the Mewaco has long been used on a large scale. In the Netherlands, this trend is now also beginning to grow slowly, particularly as pig feed prices continue to rise.
