The means for weighing the fodder and/or drink present in the feed unit comprise a feed unit, which is pivotable about a hinge pin (26, 36, 45, 57), the degree of pivotability being determined by the weight of the fodder and/or drink present in the feed unit, and a device (18, 201) for determining the degree of pivotability of the feed unit and for deducing, from the degree as determined, the weight of the fodder and/or drink present in the feed unit. <IMAGE></p> |
