ABSTRACT:
An animal feeding device, especially for pigs, has an overhead feed metering or regulation mechanism formed of a cylindrical member resting in a slot across the bottom of a feed hopper to close the slot and prevent feed from falling from the hopper. The bottom of the member is accessible from below the slot and the pig causes feed to fall from the slot by pushing the member up with its nose to open the slot. When the member is released by the pig, it falls back down into the slot to close same. The member can be a tube or pipe retained in operable open and closed position by a rod extending therethrough.
