Abstract: According to the invention, a trough (1) in an automatic feeder is configured so that it comprises a raised dry-feed part (2) on which the dry-feed (3) is led out and from which the pigs can eat, and with a wet-feed chamber (4) adjoining hereto where the surplus dry-feed (3) is collected, and finally with a water chamber (5) in connection herewith from which water (7) can run into the wet-feed chamber (4) and here soften the dry-feed for the formation of the wet-feed (8). In this way, the pigs are provided with easy access to both the dry-feed (3), the wet-feed (8) as well as clean drinking water in one and the same trough (1). This ensures a calm feeding situation, in that the animals have free access to said feed-stuffs and water, whereby good growth and good living conditions are achieved.
