Abstract
A device for feeding cattle, comprising a housing having a head insertion opening therein and a dosing device for supplying food to the feeding device, controlled by signals generated in response to the presence of cattle at said opening, and which makes it possible to give an adapted portion to each individual. According to the invention the device is characterized by a flap disposed downstream of the dosing device and arranged for allowing the passage of one dosed quantity of food at the time. It is thus prevented that an animal can cause residues of food to fall from the dosing device by bumping against the device.
