About sow feed dosers
A doser sits at the end of the feed line above each sow. It fills to a set volume and releases the ration all at once, so every sow is fed at the same moment. Capacity, adjustment, the release mechanism and how it hangs over the trough are confirmed for your line.
Common configurations
Volumetric dosers
Clear cups with adjustable volume.
Lock and release types
Single release or a cable for the whole row.
