ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a system for dispensing feed and water for livestock which includes a container arranged to receive the feed and water and is adapted to permit access to the feed and the water by the livestock for consumption. The system further includes a feed delivery means for dispensing feed into the container and water dispensing means for dispensing water into the container means. The water dispensing means includes a delivery portion extending into the container which houses a water level sensor. A control means is arranged to actuate the feed delivery means to dispense a controlled amount of feed into the container and is also arranged to actuate the water dispensing means to dispense water into the container through the delivery portion after actuation of the feed delivery means. The water level sensor within the delivery portion disables the water dispensing means after a predetermined level of water within the container is reached and the delivery portion is arranged within the container for washing residual feed within the container from the delivery portion to thereby preclude interference or clogging of the delivery portion and the water level sensor by the residual feed.
