ABSTRACT:
A compact animal feeder having a tubular housing with paired feed access openings spaced side-by-side in the sidewall. The feed access openings are located upwardly on the sidewall so that a rounded bottom portion of the tubular sidewall forms a trough which tends to hold feed centrally in a chamber formed within the housing. A feed delivery tube enters from above through another opening in the housing and extends downwardly between each pair of feed access openings to a point above the rounded trough bottom. An adjustable gap permits a given amount of feed to pile up below the feed supply tube. The feed pile automatically stops further flow. Multiple animal feeding is possible from a location at the side of a pen. Oppositely paired feed access openings can be used to permit installation between pens.
