The JFC GFC10 is the ultimate solution for large-scale, controlled group feeding. Featuring ten separate, individually partitioned compartments, this feeder guarantees that every calf or lamb receives an equal, measured 2 Litre feed. This precision is essential for maximizing growth uniformity and preventing the common problems of gorging, competition, and unequal intake in group housing.
The Compartment Difference: Uniform Intake
The key advantage of the GFC10 is its compartment design. Unlike simple reservoir feeders where dominant calves can consume more than their share, this feeder physically separates the milk supply.
- Equal Milk Distribution: With ten individual 2L compartments and a total capacity of 30 Litres 8 gallons, you can be sure every animal gets its full, prescribed ration every time.
- Reduced Stress and Gorging: The separate feeding stations dramatically reduce competition and aggressive feeding behaviour, leading to a calmer feeding environment and improved milk digestion.
Features Engineered for Animal Health
- Natural Suckling Promotion: Fitted with high-quality teats designed to mimic the natural suckling action. This slows the intake rate, enhances saliva flow, and encourages the esophageal groove to close effectively, aiding digestion and reducing the risk of scours.
- Non-Return Valve Ready: Compatible with teats featuring non-return valves, which prevents milk from flowing back into the feeder, minimizing waste and maintaining superior hygiene standards.
Robust & Practical Farm Design
- Durable and Long-Lasting: Constructed from tough, impact-resistant polyethylene, the GFC10 is built to withstand heavy use in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering reliable service season after season.
- Secure & Versatile Mounting: Equipped with two reinforced hangers and two security hooks for quick and stable mounting on any standard gate, rail, or pen fence. This makes it an ideal fit for use with JFC Calf Hutch Systems.
- Effortless to Clean: The smooth, seamless interior is designed with minimum crevices, allowing for quick, effective cleaning and disinfection. The feeder is also designed to be stored upside down, ensuring complete drainage and drying.
- Nestable for Storage: When not in use, the units are nestable to save valuable space in the feed shed.
