ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is provided for delivering animal feed to animals and especially to feedbunks for cattle. The apparatus includes a carriage which travels back and forth over a conveyor belt which carries the feed along the feedbunk. The carriage has a plow and a deflector which engage feed and discharge it off one side of the belt or the other. The plow and deflector are located obliquely at angles to the belt so as to discharge all of the feed entirely off one side. An arm moves both the plow and the deflector from one oblique position to another when actuated by trip members located at predetermined positions along the belt. The deflector engages any feed not discharged by the plow and discharges it off the same side of the belt, and also cleans the belt.
