ABSTRACT:
A feeding apparatus comprises a manger having a plurality of control gates which require sequential entry into feeding stalls. An adjustable feed mechanism makes a predetermined amount of feed available to each animal and requires the animal to eat the feed before its entire portion will be dispensed. When feeding is complete, the manger is moved to deny the animals further access to the feed. Preferred embodiments include an elevated splash guard for improved sanitation.
