An animal solids feeder (10) which includes a feed trough, a bulk feed hopper, a mouth (26) for the hopper through which particulate feed can flow from the hopper and into the trough, closure means (42, 142, 242) for the mouth (26), pivot means (46, 146, 246) for the closure means (42, 142, 242) to permit the closure means to pivot between a fully-closed mouth condition and a fully-opened mouth condition, and extension means (44, 144, 244) connected to the closure means so that movement of the extension means in a first direction causes movement of the closure means towards the fully-opened mouth condition, characterised in that extension means (44, 144, 244) is located alongside part of the hopper, in that said part of the hopper limits the permitted movement of the extension means (44, 144, 244) in the said first direction, and in that said part can deflect when so limiting the permitted movement. |
