- Dual-sided access for shared pens
- Hot dip galvanised for durability
SKU AG8300113
A swivel feeding trough engineered for hydrating cattle and sheep in feed units, abattoirs, lairage, and livestock markets. The pivoting mechanism enables quick emptying and thorough, regular cleaning, saving time and reducing hygiene risks. Designed for shared pen access, it integrates directly into gates or panels. Hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461 standards, offering enhanced corrosion resistance and long-term durability in demanding agricultural settings.
The swivel feeding trough is built to meet the needs of livestock operations that demand hygiene, efficiency and space optimisation. Designed for cattle and sheep environments like lairage pens, feed units and abattoirs, it incorporates a quick emptying pivot mechanism that simplifies cleaning and reduces water waste.
Its smart, low-volume design ensures animals can hydrate without the risk of overflow or contamination. The trough can be securely mounted into gates or pen panels and is operable from both sides, supporting shared access between adjoining enclosures. This dual-access feature makes it ideal for large, high-traffic pens where efficient layout and water access are essential.
Durability is built-in, thanks to the hot dip galvanised steel construction to BS EN ISO 1461 standards. This added zinc layer offers enhanced corrosion resistance, ideal for tough agricultural environments.
Swivel mechanism enables fast emptying and easy cleaning, improving biosecurity and maintenance efficiency
Compatible with integration into gates or pen panels for shared use across adjacent enclosures
Hot dip galvanised finish complies with BS EN ISO 1461, ensuring long-term durability in wet and high-traffic settings
Low-volume design conserves water and reduces the risk of bedding contamination
Can be paired with shrouds to prevent livestock from drinking near bedding zones
The swivel feeding trough is designed to address key operational concerns in agricultural setups where animal health, time savings, and structural adaptability matter most. It supports intensive livestock environments such as beef feedlots, sheep units, and abattoirs, offering farmers a long-lasting and low-maintenance hydration system.
By pivoting for easy draining, the trough allows for more frequent cleaning schedules, helping reduce buildup and improve hygiene. Its integrated access from both sides eliminates the need for duplicate infrastructure between neighbouring pens. This makes it ideal for tight layouts or operations looking to streamline water delivery systems.
Additionally, the ability to integrate the unit directly into gates or structural panels minimises floor clutter and trip hazards—key factors in ensuring both human and livestock safety. The optional use of a metal shroud around the base prevents animals from drinking while lying down, avoiding wet bedding and related health issues.
For those working in large-scale operations, the trough’s corrosion-resistant build and easy-to-clean pivot design make it an asset over time. It’s built to handle daily use and contact with feed, water and silage without compromising on strength or performance.

This feeding trough meets critical livestock hydration needs while addressing hygiene, labour and space challenges in feed units, abattoirs and livestock markets.
Dual-sided access – animals on either side of a partition can drink simultaneously without repositioning equipment.
Space-efficient integration – fits into structural gate systems, eliminating the need for standalone troughs.
Corrosion protection – built from hot dip galvanised steel for durability in prolonged wet and chemical exposure.
Time-saving pivot mechanism – enables frequent flushing and reduces the need for full disassembly when cleaning.
Low water volume – helps prevent spillage and reduces water waste during refills.
Cost efficiency – minimises waterlogging of bedding and the associated maintenance required.
Use of a metal shroud helps prevent cattle from accessing the trough while lying in bedding, which reduces unnecessary water contamination. When combined with HERMEQ’s geotechnics, geotextiles, or geomembranes, users can further manage surface water, drainage, and ground hygiene. These combined solutions offer comprehensive support in agricultural infrastructure planning.
Overall, the trough serves as a durable, hygienic, and easy-to-integrate tool for professional livestock management.
