Product Information

Full details

This 50-litre purple 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 from high-density polyethylene, ensuring longevity and suitability for harsh agricultural environments. A potential consideration is its specific hook-over mounting system, which may not be universally compatible with all fence or rail types without modification. The trough offers a generous 122cm length for multiple animals, easy cleaning, and secure attachment points.
