ABSTRACT:
A trough for a livestock feed conveyor, the conveyor having conveying devices such as paddles residing in the trough and a drive unit for moving the conveying devices within the trough so as to convey the feed. In a preferred embodiment, the trough is constructed of an upper trough portion, a lower trough portion attached to the upper trough portion, each trough portion including segments, with transverse boundaries between the segments, connecting plates for connecting the segments of each of the trough portions together, the relative lengths of the segments of both trough portions being chosen and assembled so that the boundaries between segments of the upper trough portion do not coincide with the boundaries between sections of the lower trough portion. According to a preferred embodiment, the connecting plates are splice plates removably connected to a leading end of one segment and a trailing end of an adjacent segment of the upper trough portion, and to the lower trough portion at a position spaced apart from and between the two ends of any segment of the lower trough portion.
