ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for dispensing animal foodstuffs particularly in granular, particulate, or like form. The apparatus is intended for use in conjunction with a conventional elongate feeding trough serving a plurality of feeding stations. The apparatus includes a foodstuffs receiver which is of elongate form, and which is equal in length to that length of the trough into which foodstuffs are to be dispensed. A dispensing head is arranged to be coupled to a foodstuffs supply, and is movable relative to the receiver along the length of the receiver. The head includes guides which guide the receiver through the head during relative movement between the two, and the head has a foodstuffs outlet whereby foodstuffs can pass from the supply through the head and into that portion of the receiver which is within the head at any given time. The volume of foodstuffs delivered into the receiver during relative movement of the head and receiver is determined by the dimensions of the receiver and the co-operation of the head and the receiver, and in this way the volume of foodstuffs carried by the receiver into the trough is accurately controlled.
