A feeder for automatically providing an animal access to measured amounts of feed at predetermined time intervals. A carousel having a number of trapezoidally shaped feed compartments arranged around a central axis is carried by rollers engaged on a circular track. A cover has an opening defining a feeding station. A motor and timer combination operable with low voltage DC current periodically move each compartment into registry with the opening to provide the animal access to the feed. Each compartment is divided into a relatively small trough and a larger trough. After a compartment has remained at the opening for a predetermined time, the carousel is rotated to bring the next adjacent compartment into registry with the opening and to move the previous carousel out of registry with the opening.
