ABSTRACT:
A livestock feeding pump includes a mounting plate mounted over a hole in a liquid feed tank, a cylindrical pump attached below the mounting plate and extended into the liquid feed, and a dish-shaped lever pivotally attached on top of the mounting plate for operating the pump. An animal licking the dish-shaped lever also depresses it to operate the pump: each lick causes the pump to dispense a predetermined amount of liquid feed onto the dish-shaped lever from the tank through a series of connecting conduit and valve. The dispensed amount can be precisely controlled by adjusting the travel of the dish-shaped lever and actuator. The livestock feeding pump can be mounted onto any feed tank, and it can be easily sized for fitting tanks of different depths. The mounting plate also seals the tank from contaminants.
