The study was conducted to construct and test the performance of automatic feeding trough for weanling pigs. The semi-automatic feeding trough for weanling pigs was made of stainless plain sheet and round bars for feed hopper, siding, chambers and compartments. The semi-automatic feeding trough has an overall width of 90 cm. in length x 90 cm in height x 30 cm in width. The maximum capacity of the feeder was 60 kg of starter mash, starter pellets and their combinations. In terms of sanitation, performance and design the respondents rated the semi-automatic feeding trough as acceptable as the manual feeding trough except on its cost. The feeds spillage in the semi-feeding trough was greatly minimized compared to the manual feeding trough. The consumed feed of the weanlings in the manual feeding trough washigher than the semi-automatic feeding trough. The system efficiency in the semi-automatic feeding trough was move efficient than the manual feeding trough. The benefit-cost ratio of utilizing the manual feeding trough was higher than the semi-automatic feeding trough for weanling pigs.
