ABSTRACT:
The feed dispenser unit is designed for attachment to a vertical rotating shaft of a control unit of an animal feeder and has a base plate, a plurality of upright walls, and a shaft attachment member. The base plate is for receiving and holding feed that has been released from the animal feeder. The feed is further supported inside the unit with a plurality of upright walls. The upright walls are hingedly disposed around the periphery of the base plate, creating a substantially enclosed unit with only top access for feed from the animal feeder storage unit of hopper. The shaft attachment member is disposed below the base plate for attaching the base plate to the rotating shaft of the control unit. When the rotating shaft rotates, the base plate spins, forcing the upright walls into a substantially horizontal position due to centrifugal force, allowing the feed to be dispensed.
