Description of the BasisFeeder
 
        For economic optimal and physiologically correct free-choice mineral supplementation of grazing cattle and sheep
            
                        
            BasisFeeder protects expensive mineral supplements from rainwater and dung etc. by help of a rubber cover, which the animals push up with their heads when they eat. The sloping outer walls ensure, together with a comfortable height that animals neither tips it around nor steps on it. Easy to move and inexpensive to transport. Falls discreetly into the landscape. 
             
            The special triangular form, reuleaux triangular inspired, with round corners makes the dimensions of the feeder small in comparison to its huge capacity of 74 litres volume - dependent on the density of the mineral feed supplements, for instance equal to a capacity about 120 kg - despite small dimensions, makes it cheap to transport, and is one of the reasons for a cheap price in comparison to other feeders.
            A reuleaux triangle is a special geometrical form, and as visulaised here, the form provides for a higher volume than a circular form that shall fit into the same square.
            
                Other information and facts 
 
                The top is a strong and reinforced rubber sheet, which the animals push up with their heads when they eat.
                    
                
                Has a total volume of 74 litres, including three compartments of each 19 litres, which provides the opportunity to use it for different mineral types at once. Can for instance be used for both granulated minerals, buckets with molassed minerals, fodder salt and lick stones. The three compartments are perfect as protection and fixation of mineral buckets with diameters of up to 30 cm (bottom). The molassed minerals maintain in this way an appetizing moist surface.

                One feeder serves up to about 50 animals.
                The plastic parts of the feeder is made of non-toxic materials in accordance with EU's food hygiene regulations.
                Height: 35 cm - Width: 80 cm - the rubber cover has a diameter of 100 cm. - Weight: 18 kg.
                It is possible to re-use all parts of the BasisFeeder. The plastic parts are marked with a re-circulation sign for correct sorting.
                The BasisFeeder is frost durable so it is possible to let it stand outside during winter.
                The colours of the plastic of the BasisFeeder is protected by a UV filter in order to reduce bleaching.
                The mineral feeder is well tested and applicable for the following types of livestock:
                
                    - All types of grazing cattle, also those with long horns
- Grazing sheep

                            The special triangular shape with rounded corners makes BasisFeeder cheap to transport, provides a high capacity despite small dimensions, and is one of the reasons for a low price compared to other mineral feeders. Therefore this very unique and innovative element in the shape of the BasisFeeder is patented.

                            BasisFeeder works well for animals with 'real horns'. It is here being used by the bull of a Texas Longhorn herd in Denmark. Texas Longhorns is the cattle breed with the longest horns in the whole world - the record is currently 2.4 m for bulls and cows.

The pallet measures 150 cm x 80 cm x approx. 180 cm (l x w x h) and weighs approx. 375 kg.

                            As the mineral feeder between the heavy plastics walls is having a narrow lumen, it is possible to anchor it by placing it over one or more poles which protrudes approximately. 20 cm up from the ground surface.

                            'BasisFeeder' is the result of further development and improvement of similar types of mineral feeders. What is special about 'BasisFeeder' is its Reuleaux triangle inspired shape, which despite its compactness has a large capacity. 'BasisFeeder' is also ideal for placing buckets with molassed minerals, so that they do not tip over and spills their content, but protects them from being dried from sun and wind or soaked by rain.
