Abstract: A plant (1) for distributing material with a substantially fluid behaviour for feeding animals, comprising a pipe (2) for conveying the material, elements (3, 4) for dragging the material, which are slidably housed within the conveying pipe (2), motor means (5) associated to the dragging elements (3, 4) to slide them within the conveying pipe (2), a plurality of openings (6) for the outflow of the material, which are obtained in the conveying pipe (2) and to each one of which there is associated a respective conduit (7) for supplying and containing the material and a raceway (10) which is arranged beneath the conveying pipe (2) and the conduits (7) and which is open on the top to allow animal access thereto.

Abstract: A cable for loose-material handling systems inside a conveyance duct includes a core (11) having a plurality of strands (12) woven together, a covering sheath (14) for the core and disk-shaped members (17) molded on the sheath (14) for entrainment of the loose material. The sheath (14) includes a mesh of strands (15) with thick weft forming with the cable axis (13) an angle greater than that of the strands (12) of the core (11). A seam (16) between the sheath (14) and the core (11) is provided at least at the disk-shaped members (17).
