The invention relates to a feeding apparatus in a cattle building (100), placed in its entirety outside the outer wall line of the cattle buidling. The feeding apparatus comprises a trough (10) for livestock feed (200) and a turning element (26) protecting the trough from the weather. Animals in the cattle building can access the trough through a feeding aperture (120) in the outer wall. The turning element is jointed (32) onto the edge of the trough and/or the outer wall of the cattle building by means of L-shaped support elements (20). Thanks to the jointed attachment, the turing element can be turned away from above the trough so that feed can be added into the trough from outside the cattle building using a tractor-pulled feed dispenser waggon (150), for example. The feeding apparatus further comprises a safety device (36, 38, 40) which raises an animal's head away for the trough when feed is being dispensed. The apparatus can be equipped with a turning mechanism so that the turning element can be turned by means of an actuator. The components of the feeding apparatus can be advantageously manufactured as prefabricated elements and assembled on the cattle farm. |
