The Libsaerty 100cm Stainless Steel Livestock Feed Trough is a floor-mounted, double-sided feeding trough with a 35-liter capacity, designed for daily feeding of goats, sheep, pigs, deer, cows, and horses in barn, pen, and pasture settings.
The hot-galvanized steel frame and PP trough material are intended to hold up under regular livestock use and outdoor conditions. The trough bolts to the floor through pre-drilled holes for stability. This is a ground-level feeder, so it is not suited for setups that require elevated or wall-mounted feed delivery.

Floor-Mounted Group Feeding for Pens and Pastures with Multiple Animals
If you are managing a pen or pasture where multiple animals need access to feed at the same time without competing at a single entry point, the double-sided design of this trough lets animals approach from both sides simultaneously.
That doubles the effective feeding length relative to a single-access trough of the same size, which reduces crowding and the dominant-animal feeding problems that single-sided troughs tend to produce in group settings. The pre-drilled floor mounting holes and triangular support brackets keep the trough anchored against active livestock that push and lean against feeders during use.
The PP trough body detaches from the galvanized frame for cleaning, which matters for operations where feed buildup, moisture, and sanitation are regular maintenance concerns. At 39 inches long and just over 7 inches deep, this trough works across a range of species from goats and sheep up through horses, making it a functional option for mixed-species operations or farms that run different animals through the same enclosures seasonally.
What to Expect from the Libsaerty 100cm Livestock Feed Trough in Real Use
The hot-galvanized steel frame is designed to resist rust and corrosion in barn and outdoor environments where moisture, manure, and daily animal contact accelerate wear on standard steel.
The PP trough material is smooth-surfaced, which makes wiping down and rinsing the interior more straightforward than feeders with textured or seamed interiors where feed residue collects.
The floor-mounting system with pre-drilled holes provides a stable base that holds position when livestock push against the trough during feeding, which is a common failure point for freestanding or lighter feeders in active livestock environments. Triangular support brackets at the frame corners reinforce the structure against lateral stress.
Rounded interior corners reduce the risk of abrasions on animal snouts and mouths during feeding, which is a practical safety consideration for operations where animal welfare standards are a priority. The 35-liter capacity accommodates group feeding without requiring constant top-offs throughout the day in most livestock scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you clean the Libsaerty livestock trough and how often should it be done?
The trough body detaches from the galvanized steel frame, which allows you to remove it for rinsing and scrubbing without working around the mounted frame structure. The smooth PP interior does not have seams or corners where feed and moisture accumulate heavily, which simplifies routine cleaning.
For livestock operations, cleaning frequency depends on feed type, animal density, and ambient conditions. Wet feeds and high-humidity environments warrant more frequent cleaning to prevent mold and bacterial buildup. At minimum, a full rinse and inspection between feed batches is standard practice for any livestock trough.
Can this trough be used outdoors in a pasture setting year-round?
The hot-galvanized steel frame is designed to resist rust and corrosion in outdoor conditions, and the PP trough material does not absorb moisture or degrade from rain exposure the way wood-based feeders do. The floor-mounting system works on concrete, packed earth, or similar stable surfaces using the pre-drilled holes.
For pasture use on soft ground, anchoring stability depends on the condition of the surface and how aggressively your livestock interact with the feeder. In very soft or wet ground, additional anchoring measures may be needed to keep the trough from shifting under pressure from larger animals like cows or horses.
Is this trough suitable for horses or only smaller livestock?
The trough dimensions, 39.37 inches long and 7.09 inches deep, and the open double-sided access design make it physically accessible for horses as a ground-level feeder. The hot-galvanized frame and PP construction are rated for larger livestock including cows and horses.
For horses specifically, ground-level feeding does have management considerations around dust and sand ingestion depending on your footing and feed type, which is worth factoring into placement decisions regardless of feeder choice. The trough itself is listed as compatible with horses and sized appropriately for that use.
