Abstract: Process and apparatus for feeding poultry in which a given amount of feed is periodically supplied and the dung and eggs are continuously removed. The weight of a small number from a group of animals living under like conditions is continuously monitored, and the respective feeding period is ended when the weight reaches a predetermined value. The apparatus includes at least one cage which is connected to an apparatus for supply of feed and to an apparatus for removal of eggs. The cage has a grid floor for passage of dung. The grid floor forms the load-carrier of a balance. The balance has a switch which opens and closes at a given weight to actuate the working circuit of the apparatus for supply of feed.
