Patent number: 8573157Abstract: An improved livestock feeder provided with an adjustable feed dispensing mechanism including control levers which are operatively connected to the feed metering gates to control the flow of feed to livestock. The dispensing mechanism features a control lever which engage an array of indexing holes formed in the feeder to position the feed gate within the opening to adjust the amount of feed dispensed from the hopper. The dispensing mechanism includes a graduated scale corresponding to each of the index holes to provide a standard setting for the feeder which can be utilized by an animal producer to supply of feed flow at a given stage in the animal's life cycle to obtain a desired growth rate.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2012Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: CTB, Inc.Inventors: Paul J.

Publication number: 20070137585Abstract: A feed hopper is located above a feed pan to dispense feed by gravity flow into the feed pan. Partitions divide the animal feeder to accommodate multiple animals simultaneously. A user adjustable feed gate controls the feed portion and rate of feed dispensed and animal actuated mechanical agitators ensure the entire feed portion is received. The animal feeder contains a watering system to deliver water and feed, either mixing water and feed or keeping them separate, while the animal is using the feeder. The side wall of the feed pan is adjustable in vertical and horizontal dimensions between a raised position and a lowered position. Thus, the feeder can accommodate animals of different sizes or animals throughout growth stages.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2006Publication date: June 21, 2007Inventors: Andrew Rausch, Harry Van Horn
