Feeding arrangement for pigs

摘要

The invention relates to a feeding arrangement for pigs, in which the supply to the animals takes place according to the principle of self-removal of feed mixtures in liquid or pasty consistency from pressurised pipelines. The aim of the invention is to achieve a reliable portioned delivery of the liquid feed from a pressure line into the trough. According to the invention, the aim is achieved by a portioning element, two preferably conical shut-off elements being provided on a linkage inside the feed downpipe, which are assigned a ring on the upper edge of the downpipe. The linkage is connected to an actuating element at the lower end of the feed downpipe.
