In this blog, we will explain the advantages of using polypropylene pig hoppers on your farm and introduce you to the different ROTECNA chute options available in our livestock shop.
Pig hoppers are containers in which feed is stored. There are different materials in which hoppers are made, with polypropylene being one of the most common.
Therefore, here are the advantages of using polypropylene hoppers on your farm:
- Resistance: polypropylenepig hoppers are resistant to weather, corrosion and rodent attacks. This makes them durable and reliable for use on farms.
- Hygiene: polypropylene pig hoppers are easy to clean and maintain, making them ideal for maintaining good hygiene on the farm. In addition, their smooth surface prevents the accumulation of dirt and bacteria.
- Flexibility: polypropylene pig hoppers are lightweight and easy to move. This makes them ideal for adapting to different needs on the farm, such as changes in the location of the pigs or the amount of feed provided.
ROTECNA, a leading brand in the manufacture of equipment for the pig industry, offers a wide range of polypropylene pig hoppers to suit different farm needs.
