ABSTRACT:
An animal feeder includes inclined surfaces (11) engaged along their adjacent edges. The inclined surfaces terminate in bent lower edges (16). A container or bin (6) is secured on the inclined surfaces. A hopper (30) is secured in the bin and has an opening (31) for discharging animal feed to the inclined surfaces by means of a battery operated motor driven distribution plate (44) and solar panel (45) connected by conductor means (46') to charge the battery. A feeding trough (5) has a flat surface (17a) secured to the bent lower edges (16) of the inclined surfaces. A side entry (32) provides access to the interior of the bin beneath the hopper (30) when necessary. A closure (33) is provided to close off the entry (32) when necessary.
