An animal feeding assembly (2) for dispensing a liquid (4) from a container (6, 54, 58) to a mouth (8) of an animal, on demand of the animal, comprises a sealed container (6, 54, 58), at least partially filled with the liquid (4), and an animal feeding valve arrangement. The container (6, 54, 58) includes a connecting tube (12) extending from the container (6, 54, 58), the connecting tube containing a seal means (10) in the form of a membrane (14). The valve arrangement comprises a first tube portion (24) piercing the membrane of the seal means (10) of the container (6, 54, 58) to receive the liquid (4) from the container (6, 54, 58), a second tube portion (28) provided with an end adapted to be used by the animal, and a valve means adapted to be actuated by the animal to permit the flow of the liquid (4) from the container (6, 54, 58) to the end of the second tube portion (28). <IMAGE>
