Abstract: A forage chopping and propelling device including a casing having an inclined bottom and disposed therein a chopper rotor and a booster impeller that operate as an integrated assembly to receive forage from an inlet, chop the forage and eject the chopped forage out a discharge chute. The forage travels along a rectilinear path from the inlet to the discharge chute and undergoes recutting by at least one recutting bar disposed between the chopper rotor and the booster impeller.

Abstract: A feeding device for automatically feeding fish and livestock predetermined amounts of food at predetermined intervals. The device includes a canister for holding a supply of food which is dispensed out the bottom of the canister. A rotatable surface is provided beneath the bottom of the canister for receiving and distributing the dispensed food. A retaining wall serves to control the distribution of a width of food in a substantially tangential direction with respect to the rotatable surface. A control system permits the automatic setting of the predetermined amounts of food to be fed at predetermined intervals.
