ABSTRACT:
An improvement in livestock feeders of the type using sliding compartments to measure feed comprising comparatively thin vertical walls for the compartments. The improved device also uses multiple compartments of varying sizes whereby the amount of feed discharged can be variably measured. The thin walls prevent build up of feed on a floor on which they slide.
The device is operated manually by a lever in conjuction with a flat surface valve-type mechanism in the middle of the upper portion of each slide. Adjustment of the amount of feed delivered is accomplished by using blocking devices limiting the travel of that lever.
