Full details
This 50-litre pink animal feed and water trough from KetoPlastics is designed for robust, everyday use on farms, stables, and smallholdings. Its key benefit is a durable, impact-resistant construction that ensures longevity, even in demanding environments. A potential caveat to consider is its specific hook-over mounting system, which may not be suitable for all enclosure types. This trough offers a practical solution for feeding or watering multiple livestock animals simultaneously, thanks to its generous capacity and long design.

Troubleshooting
Trough is unstable when mounted.
Ensure the trough is hooked securely onto a sturdy fence, gate, or rail. Check that the stay pins are properly engaged. If the mounting surface is uneven, consider using supplementary bracing if possible.
