About Poultry Equipment
Poultry Equipment covers the feeders, drinkers, and trays used for daily feed and water management in poultry rearing. The right equipment keeps feed and water clean, cuts down wastage from spillage, and makes feeding easier as birds move from the chick stage to adulthood. Separate designs exist for chicks and grown birds, since feeder height and drinker capacity need to change as the flock grows.
BigHaat offers poultry equipment in different capacities, designs, stand options, and pack quantities, allowing poultry farmers to select suitable equipment according to the flock size, bird age, shed layout, and feeding routine.

Usage Tips For Poultry Equipment
- Select feeders and drinkers according to the flock size and age of the birds.
- Provide enough feeder and drinker space per bird, so all birds can feed without crowding.
- Place feeders and drinkers evenly across the shed rather than clustering them in one area.
- Adjust feeder height as birds grow, keeping the rim roughly level with the birds’ back.
- Switch from chick trays and chick drinkers to adult units at the right stage, since undersized equipment limits intake.
- Refill drinkers with clean water and wash them daily to prevent slime and bacterial build-up.
- Keep feeders only partly filled, as overfilling leads to spillage and wastage.
- Position drinkers away from feeders to limit wet feed and damp litter.
- Clean and disinfect all equipment between batches before new chicks arrive.
Types Of Poultry Equipment And What They Do?
-
Feeders: Hold and dispense feed through the day, available as chick feeders and trays for young birds and larger hanging or stand-mounted feeders for grown birds.
-
Drinkers: Supply clean drinking water, from small chick drinkers to 4 litre and 8 litre units with handles for easier refilling in commercial sheds.
-
Stands And Accessories: Two-way stands and supports that hold feeders at the correct height and keep them stable on the shed floor.
How To Choose The Right Poultry Equipment?
Choose the right poultry equipment based on the flock size, age of the birds, shed layout, and refilling routine. Start with bird age, since chicks need shallow trays and small drinkers they can reach, while grown birds need deeper feeders and higher-capacity drinkers. Flock size then decides how many units are needed and what capacity makes sense, as a larger drinker reduces refill rounds but is heavier to carry across the shed. Also consider whether a stand-mounted feeder suits your floor and litter condition, and check the pack quantity, since most units are supplied in packs of ten for commercial use rather than singly.
