What Makes a Great Feeder?
  Dr. Michael C. Brumm

Dr. Mike Brumm was recently asked to describe feeder greatness. Here’s what he had to say:

    “Ideal feeders have a large feeding area so pigs can eat unobstructed. When a pig raises its head during normal eating, feed should drop in the pan, not on the floor.”
     
     
    “Feeders should have solid dividers so a pig is protected from attack, and also that he senses that he is protected.”
Brumm was the lead researcher in three widely-referenced trials to evaluate water disappearance using various drinkers and feeders.
