ABSTRACT:
An automatic animal feeding system having a vertically adjustable inverted U-shaped cover disposed over a feed trough. Vertical adjustment of the cover provides for an advantageously settable feed discharge gap into the feed trough. The system comprises an automatically energized driving chain movable along the feed trough, which chain carries feed propelling paddles. The feeding apparatus is especially adapted for use in the feeding of wet ground corn to hogs, and provides substantially reduced probabilities of jamming due to feed build up, or of causing feed spoilage due to unwanted accumulation of feed in inaccessible areas.
