WHAT ARE 3IN1FEEDERS?

HOW DO I ...Train stock to lick from the 3IN1FEEDERS groove? Stock learn faster if they receive a memorable reward (a generous amount of feed) for coming to the feeder. Setting the adjusters as wide as they can before the feed starts falling into the trough will ensure this reward. Here, they will be able to scoop the feed into their mouth and are not being restricted by their saliva levels. Other ways to help train stock are to put some feed in the troughs and on the ground around the feeder. It is important to use a feed that has no risk of acidosis.

3IN1FEEDERS give farmers the control to limit the amount of supplement stock consume. It does this through the revolutionary saliva restriction system. While the 3IN1FEEDER systems can be set to feedunrestricted rations to stock, it can also limit the intakeof sheep and goats to 200 grams/day and cattle to 2kg/day.

WHY ARE THEY CALLED 3IN1FEEDEERS?3IN1FEEDERS can be used successfully to do the followingtasks for cattle, sheep and goats:

1) Controlled feeding,

2) Creep feeding, and

3) Free choice feeding

HOW DO 3IN1FEEDERS WORK?The system requires stock to lick the feed out of the groove between two adjusters. Changing the position of the adjusters changes the ration that stock can consume. Research has shown that when the lick system is in the most restricted setting the stock lick for 5-10 minutes between periods of grazing. The licking period is limited because the livestock use the saliva from their tongue to get the feed out of the groove and the saliva decreases with

progressive licks.

WHAT BENEFITS DO 3IN1FEEDERS PROVIDE FARMERS?No waste Feeding low rations with the 3IN1FEEDERS removes the need to feed any type of stock on the ground. This ensures there is no waste and 100% of the cost of feed is being eaten.

Save money by feeding straight corn safely While feeding corn can be the cheapest way to feed energy to stock, 100% rations of corn are often not fed due to the risk of acidosis. Due to the lick system of the 3IN1FEEDERS, if the stock are offered a low setting, there is no risk of acidosis because they can’t eat fast enough to cause an issue. Another benefit of feeding straight grain is that itenables some farmers to fully utilize feed they have grownon their own farm.

Save timeThe feeders hold a substantial amount. The 1800 feeder holds 1200kg of pellets or barley. If 150 ewes are being fed 0.5kg per day, the feeder will only require filling once every 16 days. If the feeder is used to creep feed lambs, it will also last a similar time. Although sheep need to be regularly checked, it reduces the time to do this – especially if there are bunches of ewes away from the home farm.

No mismothering after lambing Pail feeding leads to mis-mothering because ewes will runoff from their lambs to be fed. When 3IN1FEEDERS are used, ewes know their feed comes from the feeder and they don’t run when a vehicle enters the field. This also reduces stress of farmers because they can easily check ewes and lambs to ensure there is a high survival rate.

Even production The lick system reduces bossy behaviour due to it being reliant on the amount of a saliva an animal has – bossy stock don’t have any more saliva than shy stock. When the bossy stock aren’t at the feeder, the shy stock have more of a chance to feed. The removable Adjuster Guard further prevents the bossy behaviour of pushing along the trough because it has 100mm areas to lick from and there is no advantage in moving position.

No gorging A common problem farmers have when introducing stock to high corn based diets is they can over consume and suffer from acidosis. 3IN1FEEDEDS eliminates this risk as it allows stock to be introduced to the feed at a safe low ration and then progressively increase the ration by widening the adjustment system.

Ewes will often not feed from a 3IN1FEEDER for up to 2 days after they have lambed – this ensures a strong ewe-lamb bond.

Consumption LogUser Guide

What system should I use to

manage feed outflow?

Regulation Tables

The feeders come with stickers on

the side walls above the trough area.

This sticker has a regulation table that

provide an estimate of what cattle and

sheep will consume at each setting of

the adjustment system.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT TABLES

ARE ONLY A GUIDE. There are many

variables that can influence the feed

intake of stock but the tables can

provide a good starting point when

setting up the adjusters.

Advantage Feeders has had numerous

methods on how to position the

adjusters accurately. Please read the

information on the sticker on your

feeder for directions on how best to

do this.

Measuring feed outflow

The hopper has

volume stickers

in it. The level of

feed in the hopper

can be measured

against this sticker

to assess the

consumption rate.

Advantage Feeders

has created a

document, the

Feed Consumption Table which allows

farmers to easily enter the date and

feed level to calculate the average daily

consumption rate.

Filling the hopper for a set period

Another system that some farmers

use is to put a period, such as a week’s

supply, of feed into the hopper.

After a week, if the feeder is empty, then

the adjusters need to be closed slightly

to reduce the outflow of the ration. If

there is feed left, open the slides wider

to increase the outflow to the desired

rate. Note that if stock are very reliant

on the supplement and the feeder is

empty for a considerable time, they may

be aggressive and trample other stock.

What variables influence

feed intake?

The main variables to influence

intake are:

- Feed size: the larger the feed, the

more open the adjusters have to be

set to allow the feed to flow under

the Upper Adjuster and for stock to

access the feed between

the adjusters.

- Breed of stock: some breeds are more

intuitive than others and will learn

how to feed quicker than other stock.

- Age of stock: stock will increase

feed intake until they reach

mature weight.

Using the Adjuster Guard

The Adjuster Guard is a part that limits

stock pushing other stock along the

trough. It forces stock to lick from

the one location and reduces

bossy behaviour.

It can easily be placed in and out of

position to clean the licking groove.

It is important that the Adjuster Guard

on the NGF800 sits behind the brackets

at each end and the brace in the

middle of the trough. On the NGF1800

and NGF3800, it also sits behind the

brackets at each end but has three

braces in the trough to sit behind

What are the recommended

numbers per feeder?

For farmers that are unfamiliar with the

Next Generation Feeders, the following

recommendations are suggested.

The number of stock per feeder depends

on whether you are using the feeders to

supplement or substitute the animal’s

diet. Substitute feeding is when stock

are receiving their whole ration from

the feeder. Stock receiving a substituted

diet need to access the feeder more

often and longer than stock receiving

a supplement.

When SUBSTITUTE FEEDING, sheep

require about 35mm of trough space

each and cattle require about 150mm.

This equates to about 136 sheep and

32 cattle per NGF3800 and NGF1800

feeders and half these numbers for

the NGF800.

When SUPPLEMENT FEEDING, sheep

require about 24mm of trough space

each and cattle require about 100mm.

This equates to about 200 sheep and

48 cattle per NGF3800 and NGF1800

feeders and half these numbers for

the NGF800.

Ewes that have multiple lambs often

receive a higher supplement and need

to be at the feeder for longer than usual

sheep being supplemented. During

lambing, having fewer ewes and lambs

around the feeder also makes it more

likely that the ewe will leave the feeder

with all their lambs. In this situation,

they require about 40mm of trough

space each.

This equates to about 120 sheep per

NGF3800 and NGF1800 feeders.

Weaners are more susceptible to being

bullied and developing into shy feeders.

When using the feeders with stock that

are in their initial months of weaning,

the same number of stock per feeder as

substitute feeding should be used.

Farmers have chosen to put more

or less stock with feeders than the

recommended numbers. After using

the feeders for some time, farmers will

then be able to better assess whether

to run more or less stock per feeder. It is

important that the condition of stock is

regularly assessed as this will impact on

feeding requirements.

What’s the smallest gap

stock can eat out of

the feeder?

Many users of Next Generation Feeders

think that the minimum gap sheep and

cattle can lack from is 20mm and 30mm

respectively. The tongue of a sheep can

fit into a 10mm gap and a cattle tongue

can fit in a 15mm gap. Having these

narrow gaps will play an important role

in restricting the ration and preventing

overconsumption issues. A 15mm gap

for sheep instead of a 10mm gap can

result in double the intake.

What increment is used for

the volume scale?

The volume scale in the feeder

measures litres or cubic metres.

Different feeds have varying densities,

and cubic metres in a consistent way of

measuring volume.

HOW YOU CAN INCREASE YOUR PROFIT

This page outlines a range of benefits that many farmers with 3IN1FEEDERS experience. Not all the benefits exist concurrently. There are a large number of assumptions made in the calculations and these will vary considerably from farm to farm. Please contact us for assistance in making specific calculations. We can provide spread sheets for you to

calculate the benefits of using 3IN1FEEDERS.

USE 3IN1FEEDERS TO FEED LOWER RATIONS3IN1FEEDERS Advanced Adjustment System canrestrict the intake of sheep and goats to 200grams/day and cattle to 2kg/day. This is about a third the amount of other free choice feeders. While there are times of the year that you would want to feed more than 600grams/ day and 6kg/day, for the majority of the year, this amounts to costly overconsumption.

3IN1FEEDERS also feature the Adjuster Guard – an attachment that makes it impossible for the stock to walk along the trough with their tongue in the licking area (between the adjusters). It reducesover consumption, helps ensure consistent feedingbetween animals and minimizes stock being pushed

while licking.

REDUCE MIS-MOTHERINGPail feeding leads to mis-mothering because eweswill often run away from their lambs to ensure theyreceive a supplement. Using 3INFEEDERS preventsthis because ewes realize that they have a constantsupplement source in the pasture and prioritize

bonding with their lamb.

Users of 3IN1FEEDERS frequently comment that ewesthat have just lambed don’t leave that position in thepasture for 2 days after lambing – ensuring a strongewe-lamb bond.

An added observation is that when ewes are being supplemented by feeders at lambing, the ewes are very calm, often not moving until you are within 10 meters of them – allowing them to be checked easily without disrupting them.

HOW DO I ...Introduce stock to straight corn rations? After stock have been trained to lick from the groove the ration can be gradually changed to incorporate increased amount of corn. The adjusters need to be set to a restricted setting then introduce the corn as only a third of the ration. A week later, the corn can be increased to two thirds and then full corn a week later.

5

REDUCE SUPPLEMENT COSTSCorn is one of the best value energy and protein sources. The 3IN1FEEDERS Advanced Adjustment System allows farmers to feed straight corn because livestock can be limited in the amount they consume. This eliminates the risk of acidosis (barley poisoning) and allows corn to be feed in the place of more expensive blocks and nuts. When used correctly, corn may not have the required level of protein, energy or nutrients but additives like protein pellets can be added to corn to reach the required levels.

EFFICIENT RUMENSupplementing stock every second day is inefficientbecause the rumen microbes need to constantlyalternate from digesting a concentrated feed in ashort period to a lower quality dry/pasture feedand so on.

This eliminates the risk of acidosis (barley poisoning)and allows corn to be feed in the place of moreexpensive feed. When used correctly, grainmay not have the required level of protein, energyor nutrients but additives like protein pellets can be

added to reach the required levels.

NO WASTEThe exact level of waste that results from feeding on the ground will depend on the type of soil it is fed on and the weather conditions.

When 3IN1FEEDERS are used to restrict intake the trough operates as a spill tray and is always licked clean.

All 3IN1FEEDERS can be used for cattle,sheep and goats. The skids on the feeder can be changed from one type of stock to another.

Cattle can lick in a groove as narrow as 15mm and sheep, 8mm.

3IN1FEEDERS

They are strong All 3IN1FEEDERS can be used for feeding large and small ruminants. All the outer extremities are reinforced to withstand the roughest treatment from cattle. Being made from connected sheetmetal, all parts are stronger because they all require flanges for joining instead of butt welds. This also means that there are no welds to rust and break.

Fully galvanizedAll parts are galvanized, not painted. This ensures the product will last a long time. All tube components are hot gal dipped. These parts often sit in the mud and muck and rust quickly – 3IN1FEEDERS will last longer.

Volume stickersThis allows you to quickly determine the ration being consumed and make adjustments if required.

Retractable roofThe roofs can be easily opened and fastened on the same side.

Quality componentsAll fasteners for the adjusters are stainless steel to ensure they are always functional. All rivets and tec screws also have very durable coatings.

Sight glasses These are a simple feature that can save getting off your vehicle and checking the volume in the feeder each day.

Lifting frameThe 800 and 1800 model feeders can be fully loaded and moved. The 3800 model is rated to be transported with 2000kg of feed in it. This is possible due to the built in chassis.

Gauge stickerThe lower side panels have a table to show what the intake of sheep and cattle is at each adjuster setting. The table is a guide only and is a good starting point for setting the feeder.

Versatile 3IN1FEEDERS can be used to livestock or various sizes, such as sheep and cattle. The feed has adjustable skids that can be changed in height to suit either animal.

FEATURES THAT MAKE 3IN1FEEDERS THE LEADER

Testimonial We bought two of the smaller 3IN1FEEDERS at the Canadian Classics Show in Barrier.

There was no problem at all introducing it to the feeder lambs, just showed a former bottle baby where the grain was and everyone (about 75 lambs) took note.

I am impressed that there has been no crowding at the feeder after the first discovery. Thanks for making a terrific tool available to us.

MOBILE 3IN1FEEDERS

Mobile Grain Feeders give farmers the convenience of filling the feeders up at the bin and taking them out to the field.The MGF3800 is constructed by adding the tandem axle chassis system to the 3800 stationary feeder. The MGF1800 is constructed by adding the single axle chassis system to the 1800 stationary feeder.

MGF1800

Axle positioned so trough at 300mm Axle positioned so trough at 400mm Axle positioned so trough at 500mm

SUSPENSIONMobile 3IN1FEEDERS have suspension to ensure the longevity of the products by providing smooth transportation. It allows farmers to pull the Mobile Grain Feeders at higher speeds because they can endure bumps. The MGF3800 has load sharing springs to spread heavy loads evenly over all wheels.

CENTRAL WHEEL POSITIONCentralized axles reduce the load on the tow ball of the pulling vehicle. Other mobilefeeders on the market that have the axle at the rear of the feeder can put over 800kgon the tow ball, when many vehicles have maximum tow ball loading of 300kg. The tires are only 480mm high, being 195/55/R13C, and have a load rating of 900kg each. Stock can reach over the wheels to consume. Lambs and kids that are less than 4 months of

age have to consume beside the wheels.

TELESCOPIC STANDS The Mobile Grain Feeders have a stand in each corner. These prevent them moving when

they are uncoupled.

ADJUSTABLE AXLE HEIGHTThe axles are manufactured with a step. This allows the Mobile Grain Feeders to be set at 3 different heights so they are suitable for all sizes of stock. The axle options allow the

trough to be set at the heights of approximately 300, 400 and 500mm.

HOW 3IN1FEEDERS CREEP PANELMAKES YOU MORE PROFIT

✓ Easy to set up and adjust

✓ Safe for ewes and lambs/ does and kids

✓ Can supplement ewes/does & creep feed simultaneously

✓ Lambs and kids can be controlled while creep feeding

✓ Standard with all 3IN1FEEDERS

REVOLUTIONARY SYSTEMThe 3IN1FEEDERS Creep Panel revolutionizes lamb/kid creep feedingby simplifying the system and reducing potential harm to stock. The Creep Panel (Patent application number: 2010903466) acts as a guard over the trough denying ewes access to the feed as their head is too large to fit in the gap. The Creep Panel is able to be pivoted to allow the feeder to operate either as a standard feeder or a creep feeder . They are permanently attached to the feeder. This makes repositioning the feeder easy.

SAFE FOR EWES AND LAMBS/DOES AND KIDSThe 3IN1FEEDERS Creep Panel is safe for both ewes and lambs/does and kids as the Creep Panel discriminates based on head size, and not the size of the animal. Many farmers report that when the Creep Panel is engaged the ewes/does stand back from the feeder because the ewes/does know that they cannot access any feed. The system works well up until lambs/kids are four months of age as by then lambs heads start getting close to the same size as a ewe/does. By this age, most lambs/kids have been weaned.

VERSATILEMany farmers utilize a Creep Panel for feeding lambs/kids a freechoice ration on one trough of a feeder and allow the ewes/doesa restricted ration on the other trough. This system is ideal when lambs/kids are 2 to 8 weeks of age as the ewes/does can receive a small supplement.

CALVES PER CREEP GATE

Fast Facts- The gate has a horizontal bar that can be positioned at 9 different heights. - The gate has a strong triangular brace to prevent cows from changing the shape of the feed access area. - The gate is pinned in the engaged position to prevent cows from lifting it.- Functional until the calf is about 9 months of age.

REVOLUTIONARY SYSTEM The 3IN1FEEDERS Creep Gates allows you to implement creep feeding – the process of supplement feeding calves while excluding cows – quickly and easily. The Creep Gate simplifies creep feeding by pivoting from the transport/inactive position to the engaged position. The gates deny cows access to the feeding area based on their body size. It is common to attach only one Creep Gate to a feeder to creep feed calves free choice ration and the other side to feed cows a restricted ration down to 2kg/head/day.
