ABSTRACT:
The feeding device especially for chicken farming substantially comprises a cylindrical upright distributor (4) located above a containing plate (1) and connected at the upper part thereof to a feed-carrying horizontal tubular duct (5) supported by ropes (6). The distributor (4) is moved close to the plate (1) causing a reduction of the feed (7) level in the plate (1) by lowering the tubular duct (5). In addition, the distributor (4) has a pair of vertical recesses (8) and within each of them a C-shaped flat spring (9) is accommodated thereby forming a detent (10) into which a tooth (11) present on an annulus (3) integral to the plate (1) and disposed about the distributor (4) can be snap-fitted. In this way the feed level can be simultaneously reduced in all plates (1) of the distribution line by merely lowering the horizontal duct (5). Subsequently, as the chicken size grows, it is possible to simultaneously raise all plates (1) from ground by merely lifting the duct (5) since each distributor (4) has been made integral with the plate (1) due to the snap-fitting of the annulus tooth (11) in the C-shaped spring detent (10).
