Feeding trough for pigs with feed storage bunker, contains pivotally mounted support and base plates for preventing bridge formation in feed

摘要

Almost the entire contents of the bunker rest on top of a pivotally mounted support plate which slopes down towards a pivotally mounted base plate next to an outlet opening. Pivoting the base plate through a few degrees will also cause the support blade to be be pivoted, causing the entire contents of the bunker to move and delivering a portion of feed to beneath the plate above the outlet opening.
