Abstract
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for feeding a plurality of untethered animals at their respective feeding places in the same enclosure. During each feeding period portions of fodder each not exceeding a few mouthfuls and preferably not substantially exceeding one mouthful are supplied to each feeding place, and the portions are supplied at such time intervals that the rate of fodder supply to the feeding place substantially corresponds to the desired eating rate of each of the animals. Preferably a portion of dry fodder and a corresponding portion of liquid are supplied simultaneously to each feeding place. The portions of fodder are preferably supplied successively to the various feeding places, and the portions may be metered by a rotor arm having a free end extending radially through an annular slot communicating with a fodder reservoir.
