The invention is characterised in that it further comprises storage means (30) capable of taking up a first position wherein they store the food transported by said conveyor (10) and a second position, called retracted position, wherein they pour out the entire contents into said or each feeding trough (20); and a control unit (50) provided for controlling said storage means (30) so that, during a first phase, they are in said first position and thus store the food transported by said conveyor (10), and, during a second phase, they are retracted and pour out their entire contents into said or each feeding trough (20).
