ABSTRACT:
A device for feeding animals has a tubular conduit with feed delivery openings. An inverted U-shaped dispensing channel embraces the conduit with flanges extending below the conduit along either side. A vertically movable feed trough moves between a lower feeding position and an upper loading position in which the bottom of the trough engages the flanges of the dispensing channel. A conveyor supplies feed to the tubular conduit and through the delivery openings to the space defined by the raised feed trough and the abutting flanges. When the space is full, the conveyor is stopped and the trough lowered to the feeding position.
