ABSTRACT:
An automatic system for stimulating the growth of poultry or other commercially raised animals. The system preferably comprises a mannequin for simulating a human being which is periodically moved throughout the animal enclosure or feed area. The mannequin is operatively suspended from a guide track by a control box which includes a self-contained power supply for rotating drive wheels riding the track. A timing system is employed for periodically recharging the power supply battery and for properly timing mannequin travel. Properly timed mannequin movements and periodic mannequin noises promote regular animal feeding to thereby enhance growth.
