ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a feed trough (1) for young farm birds, in particular turkeys. It is made of a suspended container plate (2) supported by a series of support struts (3), radially arranged, superiorly to which plate (2) is positioned a feed-dispensing cylindrical organ (4) connected to and in communication with a horizontal feed-transporting tubular conduit (6). The feed trough (1) is structured so that the distance (L) between the base (5) of the feed-dispenser organ (4) and the peripheral edge (8) of the the plate (2) is such that the small bird is able to reach the area close to the base (5) with its beak while keeping its claws outside the plate (2). The plate (2) is further equipped with a series of spokes (9) which spokes (9) extend radially and exhibit ends (10) to which the support struts (3) of the plate (2) are movably fixed.
