摘要

The apparatus for force-feeding geese and ducks comprises a tube (2) which fits into the esophagus of the bird, above which is a grain storage tube (3). A motor-driven screw (4) in the lower tube ensures free flow of the grain. A sensor (11) detects when the storage tube is full and cuts off supply through an inlet (3b) at its upper end.
