ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an automatic feeding device (1) for supplying domestic animals, particularly fattening pigs, which dispenses bulk feed of varying flowability, where a feed bin (8) is provided above a feed trough (6), the base (9) of this bin (8) possessing a removal aperture, below which a feed plate (10) is located in such a way that a horizontal feed removal slit (11) is formed between the edge of the removal aperture of the feed bin (8) and the feed plate (10). So that the animal searching for food can act directly and with maximum force on the sticking supply of feed, a tool (12), hung loosely into the bin (8), is provided, which possesses at least one actuating element (7) projecting from the bin (8) through the feed removal slit (11) towards the animal in such a way that it can be moved back and forth by the animal and is guided in the feed removal slit (13).
