Feed augers (screw conveyors) are the core of automated feeding systems, moving feed from silos to feeder lines. The three most common diameters for poultry are 45mm, 60mm, and 75mm. Correct selection impacts delivery efficiency and system longevity.
45mm Auger – Small Farms or Main Feed Line
Delivers 250–500 kg/h. Suitable for farms under 5,000 birds, or as a main transfer line from silo to intermediate hopper. Not recommended for full‑house distribution.
60mm Auger – Medium Floor Rearing
Delivers 500–800 kg/h. Ideal for 8,000–15,000 birds. Offers a balance between cost and performance for most commercial floor rearing operations.
75mm Auger – Large Commercial Houses
Delivers 1,000–2,000+ kg/h. Supports 15,000–30,000+ broilers or 120 meters of feeder line for layers. Most economical choice for large farms.
Quick FAQ
Can I use a 60mm auger for a 20,000‑bird house? Not recommended – you would need two 60mm lines or upgrade to 75mm.
Does feed type matter? Yes. Pellets flow easier than mash; for mash, choose one size larger.
Selection Summary
| Diameter | Bird capacity | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 45mm | <5,000 | Transfer only |
| 60mm | 8,000–15,000 | Medium floor rearing |
| 75mm | 15,000–30,000+ | Large commercial |

Techno-Economic Assessment of Tunnel Ventilation Retrofitting: Pathways for Transitioning Conventional Houses to High-Airflow Systems
Conventional poultry houses often struggle with heat stress during summer, leading to reduced feed intake and higher mortality. Tunnel ventilation retrofitting offers a proven solution. The technical pathway involves installing high-capacity fans at one end, evaporative cooling pads at the opposite end, and sealing side inlets to create uniform 2–3 m/s airflow. This system lowers…

Quantified Effect of Dynamic Feed Adjustment on Feed Conversion Ratio Optimization
This study quantifies how dynamic feed adjustment improves feed conversion ratio (FCR) in broiler production. Dynamic adjustment tailors daily feed amounts to match real-time bird weight and intake patterns, unlike fixed feeding schedules. A 35-day trial on 10,000 Ross 308 broilers compared dynamic adjustment (sensor‑based, every 2–4 hours) with conventional fixed feeding. Results showed that…

Empirical Analysis of the Effect of Sealed Feed Bins on Feed Mold Control
Feed mold contamination is a major concern in poultry farming, leading to nutrient loss and health risks. This study evaluates the effectiveness of sealed feed bins in controlling mold development under practical farm conditions. A comparative trial was conducted over 90 days in two identical broiler houses. House A used conventional open feed storage, while…
