Feeding Systems
Dosing Cup (6L / 8L)
Volumetric dosing cup in 6 L and 8 L that sets an exact ration per sow and drops it on command.
6 L / 8 LVolumetric doseSow feeding
Product Overview
Sow feeding is a measuring problem, not a delivery problem. Over-feeding in gestation costs money and causes farrowing difficulties; under-feeding in lactation costs milk. A volumetric cup fixes the ration mechanically — you set the volume once and every drop is the same until you change it.
The cup is supplied in 6 L and 8 L bodies with a mounted release mechanism, and is the opaque-body version of the pair; the transparent version is listed separately.

Why Buyers Specify This Product
The ration is set, not estimated
A volumetric body delivers the same measured amount every feed without weighing.
Two sizes for two stages
6 L covers gestation rations and 8 L covers the higher lactation feed level.
Releases on command
The whole row can be dropped together so a room is fed in one pass.
Export quantities already worked out
8 cups per carton, 64 per pallet and roughly 1,408 sets in a 40 ft container.
Problems It Solves
Hand-scooped rations drift over a batch
A fixed volume removes the variation between staff and between days.
Feeding a room takes too long
Group release lets one person feed a whole row in a single pass.
Sows fed the same regardless of stage
Two cup sizes let gestation and lactation rations be set separately.
Who It Is For
- Farrowing and gestation rooms feeding to a ration plan
- Farms standardising rations across staff and shifts
- Producers converting from hand feeding to a dosing system
One-factory supply
Flooring, penning, feeding, water and climate are made on the same site, so a room can be specified and shipped as one order.

Materials and Manufacturing
Injection-moulded polypropylene. The Dosing Cup (6L / 8L) is injection-moulded on JGM's own presses in Ningbo. Polypropylene granulate is dried, dosed and shot into a steel tool, so the part that leaves the press is the part the tool was cut for — there is no secondary forming stage where the dimension can drift. Colour is added as masterbatch at the press, which is why colour goes all the way through the part instead of sitting on it as a coating.
Customisation Options
- Sizes and sections produced to customer requirement on a full-container order
- Colour matched to your existing equipment where the material allows
- Lengths cut to your room rather than to a catalogue dimension
- OEM and private-label production accepted
- Packing and carton marking to your import requirements
Quality Control
- First-off part from every tool change checked against the drawing before the run continues
- Shot weight monitored through the run as the check on wall thickness and fill
- Surface and edge inspection on every part as it is packed
- Assembled items function-checked before boxing

How It Compares With Other JGM Products
| Alternative | When to choose it instead |
|---|---|
| Transparent Dosing Cup | The transparent version shows the set ration at a glance before the drop. |

Installing and Running It
Step 1
Set the volume against your ration table for the stage, then check one cup on a scale before setting the row.
Step 2
Feed the row as one release so every sow starts at the same time.
Step 3
Re-check the setting when the diet density changes — volume is not weight.
Step 4
Rinse and dry cups between batches to stop feed bridging in the body.
Answers
Dosing Cup (6L / 8L) FAQs
What is the difference between 22108-2 and 22118-2?
The 22108-2 pair is the opaque-body cup on this page; the 22118-2 pair is the transparent-body version listed as the transparent dosing cup.
Does a volumetric cup deliver an exact weight?
It delivers an exact volume. Weigh one drop whenever the diet or its density changes and adjust the setting accordingly.
How many fit in a container?
Approximately 1,408 sets in a 40 ft container, packed 8 per carton and 64 per pallet.
Can the whole row be released at once?
Yes — that is how a room is normally fed, so every sow starts together.
