ABSTRACT:
An automatic feeding device comprising a storage bin or hopper containing dry fodder, a feed delivery port or aperture at the bottom of the storage bin, a feed delivery mechanism forcing a quantity of feed through the aperture, and a prime mover, such as an electric motor, driving the feed delivery mechanism. The electric motor is controlled by a timer which, at a pre-set time, causes a delivery of a first quantity of feed through the delivery port, and, after a pause, causes a delivery of a second quantity of feed. The storage bin may be cylindrical in shape, the feed delivery port being at the far end of a spiral or tangential chute extending from the storage bin, the delivery mechanism comprising at least one rotatably driven elongated thin flat flexible blade. The automatic feeding device may also provide a feed agitator stirring the feed in the storage bin above the delivery mechanism.
