“The regulation system on our Advantage Feeders has meant that we know our sheep are getting the right amount of nutrition. This year we plan to increase the lambing percentage in our twin bearing ewes by placing Advantage Feeders with them to reduce mis-mothering associated with trail feeding.”

“We use Advantage Feeders in our prime lamb production business in two different ways. Firstly they are used to back-ground lambs then we incrementally increase the quantity of feed output (by way of a simple adjustment on the feeders) up to ad lib feeding of grain. Secondly we use them to supplementary feed our lambing ewe flocks. These feeders are an ideal size and they minimize the need to use a trailer feeder therefore our sheep are much more settled.”

“We can see a lot of potential with the Advantage Feeder feeding a pure lupin ration to keep a protein source available while utilising stubbles and dry feed.”

“I think the Advantage Feeders products are exciting and revolutionary. I have all my ewes running on them. I value having the peace of mind knowing that our ewes are constantly accessing a safe feed source with low labour requirement.””

“Advantage Feeders have allowed me to reduce my labour inputs while increasing my production from my ewes. The information and service provided has been exceptionally good.”

“Advantage Feeders have changed the way we run our sheep. We are able to set the feeders up for exactly what the sheep require and know they are getting the correct rations for two to three weeks at a time while getting on with other seasonal jobs like seeding and harvest. The feeders have also stopped the wastage involved with trail feeding and contamination in our grain crops”

“We breed stud Boer goats and mainly feed weanlings on. As a smaller operator we previously fed pellets out daily into troughs but as the goats get bigger and pushier it becomes difficult to feed this way. There were also issues with waste as the goats would stand in the troughs and any rain would also spoil the expensive feed. Since getting the Advantage Feeders all of the above problems have been resolved. The pellets stay dry in all weather, the goats cannot climb into the feeders and we are not tied to a difficult daily chore. Also with these feeders it is easy to adjust the amount of feed that the goats get so they do not overeat. Great Feeders!

“From my experience, Advantage Feeders can provide labour-saving delivery of supplements for efficient nutritional management of sheep and cattle.”

“The stud purchased 12 Advantage Feeders to reduce the amount of time spent trail feeding and to provide constant access for sheep to supplementary feed rather than trail feeding every other day. Initially we found it difficult to believe that sheep could access grain through such a restricted outlet. However after monitoring grain usage over the first couple of weeks it was clear that the feeders were indeed capable of controlling the consumption of grain, at a predetermined rate. A further 14 feeders were purchased to provide enough feeders in paddock so they only require filling about once per month. Each month the sheep are condition scored and the feed rate adjusted to suit their supplementary feeding needs. Once set up, it’s too easy.”

“My grain feeders from Advantage Feeders are used to virtually eliminate mis-mothering. We have also been using the feeders for weaners with the following benefits:

• They cannot gorge themselves on the grain,
• There is no wasted feed,
• As they hold over 2 tonne of grain, the time saved over trail feeding is very welcome during seeding, and
• With feed available to them at all times they are maintaining their condition much better.”
