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 |

Prevent Mold, Protect Health: How Automated Feeding Reduces Gut Disease and Veterinary Costs
Manual feeding often exposes feed to moisture, leading to mold growth and mycotoxins that damage gut health. Automated feeding systems paired with sealed silos keep feed dry and fresh from storage to delivery. This reduces the risk of intestinal diseases like necrotic enteritis, lowering mortality and veterinary expenses. For a 10,000-bird house, annual savings on…

Comparison of Disease Risks in Open-Sided and Closed Poultry Houses under El Niño–Induced Precipitation Extremes
During El Niño events, heavy rainfall or prolonged drought alter housing microclimates, affecting disease risks differently in open-sided and closed poultry houses. In open-sided houses, heavy rainfall increases litter moisture and ammonia levels, promoting coccidiosis and pododermatitis. Dry conditions increase airborne dust, irritating the respiratory tract and increasing the incidence of colibacillosis. Closed houses with…
