Abstract: A dispenser particularly suitable for use with minerals, salt or hygroscopic feed supplements for livestock comprises: a hopper for mineral storage; a feeding trough situated at the bottom of the hopper; plural spatially separated and overlapping baffle plates extending downwardly and inwardly in the hopper; and mineral agitator means having an actuating member located within the trough for movement by livestock feeding therefrom, the baffle plates being operable to enable free operational movement of the agitator means by limiting the mineral quantity in contact therewith. Baffle means laterally and downwardly converging from the hopper toward the trough limit mineral flow into the latter. Mineral flow from the hopper into the trough is determined in accordance with movement of the agitator means by feeding livestock.
