Abstract: A feeder for feeding animals at the weanling stage has a trough with two opposed outwardly inclined front walls over which the animals can reach for taking feed from the trough and a feed hopper for discharging feed downwardly onto a shelf above the trough. Water is supplied into the trough through a water line with a series of animal actuated nipples so that the animals may take the feed dry on the shelf or wet from the trough. The water line in order to restrict flow rate to the nipples includes a flexible restriction hose located within the water fine through which the water passes with the hose having a coupling at one end holding the hose at a fixed position within the pipe and causing the water in the pipe to pass through the hose to the opposed end which is free in the water line prior to reaching the nipples.
