ABSTRACT:
A pig and sow feeder comprising a pig feeder unit having a trough portion at the lower end thereof and a hopper positioned thereabove adapted to supply feed to the trough portion. The sow feeder unit includes a trough portion at the lower end thereof and a hopper positioned thereabove adapted to supply feed thereto. The trough portions of the sow and pig feeder units are disposed relative to each other so that the trough of the pig feeder may be positioned in the creep area of a farrowing pen and so that the trough of the sow feeder unit may be positioned in the farrowing crate portion of a farrowing pen. The troughs of the feeder units are in communication with each other so that feed in the trough of the pig feeder may be swept into the trough of the sow feeder. A slide gate normally prevents communication between the troughs of the feeder units.
