VORRICHTUNG FÜR DIE FÜTTERUNG VON GEFLÜGEL, INSBESONDERE MASTGEFLÜGEL, VORZUGSWEISE BROILER

A system for automatic feeding of battery poultry has feeders suspended from height adjustable distribution ducts. Two telescopic sections connect each feeder to its distribution duct; an inner section connected to the duct and an outer section connected to the feeder. The telescopic sections have a set amount of rotational freedom as determined by radial stops. Access to the feed is opened by positioning the feeder onto the ground. By adjusting the height of the system different feeding ports are opened. This enables the user to set higher feeding ports for chicks and lower feeding ports for larger birds. The feeding system is thus applicable for a whole cycle of rearing, from chick to final bird. When the grown birds are removed the feeders can be cleaned by water sprays, with the rotational freedom of the mounting enabling a thorough cleaning cycle to be applied.
