ABSTRACT:
An automatic feeder for livestock including a device to meter and measure the amount of feed used. A thermal sensitive device is employed to provide a continuous supply of feed. The thermal sensing measures the heat insulation of feed in a container, and allows feed to drop from a bin into the container only when the layer of feed is so thin that the heat is radiated through the layer of feed.
