ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a poultry feeding apparatus (30) for receiving poultry feed from an auger pipe (60). The apparatus (30) comprises a feeder tube (35) and an interengagement member. The feeder tube (35) extends between the auger pipe (60) and a feeding pan. The interengagement member is adapted for interengaging the auger pipe (60) with the poultry feeding apparatus (30) to prevent rotational swinging of the apparatus (30) relative to the auger pipe (60). The interengagement member may comprise fastening means (53) for receiving at least one projection (63) formed in the auger pipe (60), or the auger pipe (60) may comprise fastening means for receiving at least one projection formed in the interengagement member. The fastening means is preferably a notch formed therein. The feeder tube (35) preferably comprises upper and lower receiving members (31,35A). In the preferred embodiment, the interengagement member comprises an insert member (50) that is substantially complementarily shaped to a portion of the auger pipe (60) and that has a feed aperture (51) formed therein with at least one notch (53,54) formed in the aperture (51).
