ABSTRACT:
A hog feeding device comprising at least a lower unit having a bottom portion with opposite end walls and spaced apart side walls extending upwardly therefrom to define a central feed storage area therebetween. A plurality of horizontally spaced apart feed bowls are provided at the lower ends of the side walls which are in communication with the central feed storage area. A feed flow adjustment assembly is mounted within the feed storage area to control the amount of feed passing from the central feed storage area to the feed bowls. An agitator assembly is also mounted in the feed storage area which is activated by the hogs, during feeding, to prevent the feed from clogging or plugging in the feed storage area. The lower unit is of monolithic concrete construction.
