FEEDING PAN AND FEEDING SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY FOR POULTRY, SUCH AS CHICKENS, AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention concerns a feed pan for poultry, especially chickens and hens, for use in connection with a tube feeding system. The feed pan comprises a feed cone (1) under which a bottom pan (10) is mounted, and the feed cone (1) has mounting elements for mounting on a feed tube (20), so that feed from an outlet hole (21) in the feed tube (20) can pass through the feed cone (1) and down into the bottom pan (10). The mounting elements for the feed cone are configured so that the feed cone (1) and the feed tube (20) can be turned in relation to each other around the axis of the feed tube. The mounting elements comprise adjustable means which can co-operate with driving elements (6, 7) on the feed cone (1), so that the feed cone can also be turned together with the feed tube (20), which among other things is used in connection with the dosing of feeds and cleaning of feed pans.
