An animal feeder for an animal cage assembly formed of a plurality of animal cages arranged side-by-side in a horizontal alignment. The animal feeder comprises a carriage which is mounted for horizontal movement along the cage assembly. A feed mechanism carried by the carriage dispenses feed into a feed trough mounted along the front of the animal cages as the carriage traverses the cage assembly. A control apparatus mounted on the carriage de-activates the feed mechanism when predetermined levels of feed remaining in the feed trough are detected. A detector carried by the control apparatus detects the level of feed remaining in the feed trough as the carriage traverses the cage assembly.
