    Abstract: The invention relates to a feed trough (1) for young farm birds, in particular turkeys. It is made of a suspended container plate (2) supported by a series of support struts (3), radially arranged, superiorly to which plate (2) is positioned a feed-dispensing cylindrical organ (4) connected to and in communication with a horizontal feed-transporting tubular conduit (6).
