I would absolutely recommend Advantage Feeders to any livestock breeder. The grain feeders with the creep gates have allowed the weaners to easily access the grain and not be pushed out by the larger cattle. These feeders have significantly reduced the amount of wastage due to the lick restriction of the 3-Way Restriction System. This adjustment system also restricts the cattle from gorging on the grain. The design of the feeders allows us to easily tow them across paddocks.

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.

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. 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.

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

Advantage Feeders have changed the way we run our sheep. We can 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!”

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 Feedershave allowed me to reduce my labour inputs while increasing my production from my ewes. The information and service provided has been exceptionally good.

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.

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-motheringassociated with trail feeding.

I had several other self-feeders before I bought some Advantage Feeders Sheep Feedersand only used them for finishing lambs. With the double adjustment system of my new feeders I can also put them with my ewes and make them work like hell just to get a bit when they are on dry feed.

I am running around 4000 ewes in drought times. I wanted to feed the sheep faba beans and thought the feeders were a good way to regulate the supply over weeks with no need to go out every few days. I found they work well with the sheep not using them when other feed is available and starting again when they are short of feed. The lick feeding design of the troughs work very well. The sheep have kept condition, and I am hoping they keep their lambs better as feed is scarce.

I chose Advantage Feeders because they were the best value for the size of them and the adjustment system was the most advanced going around. The functioning of the lid makes checking the feeding outflow easy.

My Advantage Feeders Grain Feeder is a key component of my lamb finishing system: it’s big enough to not need frequent filling; there is minimal waste; I can easily see how much feed has been eaten and relate that to measured weight gain by viewing the volume scales.

Over the past few years I had been feeding my ewes 3 times a week for 5 months of the year. My Advantage Feeders Grain Feeders allow me to save this expense. They also give me the flexibility of putting stock in containment areas without the down-side of feeding them daily due to the lick restriction of the dual adjustment system.

We began using Advantage FeedersMineral Lick Attachments 3 yrs ago to assist in time saving and reduce product wastage. The benefits were noticed immediately. Once our sheep had access to ad lib minerals it assisted to stimulate feed intake in both the ewes and lambs. Combined with the lick feeders we have been able to wean our lambs earlier with increased average weights. Using the mineral lick attachment instead of the previously used lick blocks we have significantly reduced our product wastage by keeping the minerals off the ground, away from the mud, and out of the weather.
