ABSTRACT:
A feeding apparatus is provided for dispensing dry granular feed directly into a hog's mouth. The apparatus comprises a supply conduit, an elongated feed tube, an auger positioned within said feed tube, and an electric motor or pawl and ratchet mechanism for rotating the auger. A lever is positioned near the outlet of the feed tube, the dimensions and spacing of the lever and feed tube outlet being such as to permit engulfment by the hog's mouth. When the roof of the hog's mouth depresses the lever, the auger is activated to deliver feed.
