TUBE-O-MAT Feeder: The Best Choice for Weaners, Finishers, and Wean-to-Finish Pigs
Many adjustment options - both in height and rotation
Designed with the natural rooting behavior of pigs in mind, TUBE-O-MAT ensures that pigs must activate the feeder to access feed. This unique feature not only stimulates natural behaviors but also keeps the trough clean and free from feed residues, maintaining superior hygiene levels.
Key benefits of TUBE-O-MAT Feeder:
- Ensure better animal welfare as the feeding principle caters to the pigs' need to rummage
- Many adjustment options - both in height and rotation
- Easier to achieve thin feed layer to reduce feed waste
- Optimum air passage provides a better climate for pigs and stimulates feed intake
- Easy to operate for employees, and you can see the amount of feed in the hopper from a distance
- Pigs can eat on both sides of the trough and stimulate each other so that they eat more
- Easy cleaning and drying after washing

TUBE-O-MAT NX
The feeding principle considers the natural manipulation behavior, as the pigs must activate the feeder to get feed. Consequently, the trough is cleaned and free of feed residues, which helps maintain a high level of hygiene.
The TUBE-O-MAT NX hopper is shaped with almost vertical sides to prevent bridging. The trough has double drinking bowls, allowing the pigs to choose water or dry feed. Taking water and feeding simultaneously also reduces stress in the group. You can measure the effect: excellent daily gain from wean to finish.
- Up to 50 pigs per feeder; from 6 to 120 kg
- 120 L feed volume
- Perfect for both meal- and pellet feed
- Extremely long durability
- Minimum waste of feed
The original TUBE-O-MAT TUBE model has always been characterized by its simplicity: a vertical transparent tube, facing down on a flat surface. The tube can move back and forth and thus the dosage can take place by adjusting the distance to the flat surface.
