ABSTRACT:
A method of automatically feeding animals, especially pigs, in which a predetermined stream of a pumpable feed pulp is conveyed through a pipeline from a preparation zone to a feeding zone remote therefrom, the cross sectional area of the pipeline being dimensioned corresponding to the conveying output required in view of the consistency of the feed pulp and the feed requirement to be met with the feeding zone occupied by grown up animals, wherein the feeding times and amounts of feed are preferably predetermined automatically and for feeding with the feed requirement strongly reduced, especially when feeding young animals, a feed pulp strand of limited length is conveyed through the pipeline to at least one dispensing station in the feeding zone by means of a nourishing-physiologically unobjectionable filling liquid introduced into the pipeline, and the length of the strand is dimensioned such that the strand is fed within a period of time sufficiently short to keep it fresh.
