ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for delivering a fixed measure of feed to an animal on demand comprises: a sliding body mounted for vertical sliding movement on the apparatus between a first display position in which a display screen is presented to the animal and a second position in which a fixed measure of feed is presented to the animal on a feed supporting surface. Drive apparatus for moving the sliding body from the first position to the second position, maintaining the sliding body at the second position for a predetermined time period, and then moving the sliding body back to the first position, is operated by the animal touching or tapping on the screen. During each cycle of operation, any un-eaten feed is discharged for collection and a fresh measure of feed is removed from the container and delivered to the feed supporting surface for presentation to the animal during the next cycle.
