ABSTRACT:
An animal feeder which includes a trough and a feed-containing hopper. The trough includes a rotatable feed wheel connected to a rotatable distributor plate which dispenses the feed from the hopper into the trough. The hopper includes up to three stationary deflectors which limit the amount of feed bearing on the distributor plate at one time to assure a steady, continuous flow of feed from hopper to trough. The position of the distributor plate is also adjustable to vary the predetermined flow rate of feed.
