A slow feeder includes a container for, in use, containing food for an animal. The container has a side wall through which a slot (26) is defined; and a feeding restrictor (6). The feeding restrictor (6) comprises a food-covering element through which at least one opening is defined for, in use, resting on top of the food such that the animal can access the food through the opening; a locating element which extends from the food-covering element through the slot; and a retaining element (34) extending from the locating element and movably engageable with an outer portion of the container. The engagement of the retaining element (34) with the outer portion of the container retains the restrictor (6) in the container.
摘要:
A method for monitoring food intake of livestock animals includes defining a relationship between time an animal spends at a feeding trough and the animals food intake during that time, monitoring the time an animal spends at the feeding trough and determining a quantity of food intake for the animal based on the time spent at the feeding trough and the defined relationship. Optionally, time an animal spends in a feeding position at the feeding trough is monitored and used to determine quantity of food intake.

摘要:
There is described a support (6-11) for feeding troughs or mangers (12). The support has a lower surface (18) for disposal against a floor (5) and an upper surface (19) for supporting a feeding trough (12). As the support surfaces (18, 19) form a mutual angle in longitudinal direction, there may be compensated for a slope of the floor, so that the feeding trough (12) is disposed horizontally even if mounted on a stable floor with a slope.

A timer device for a container with a handle mounted on a rotable axis, a locking device and a bar element. The locking device has a recess for receiving the handle, adapted to rotate between a locking position and an opening. The locking device in its locked position holds the bar element, while it in its opening position leaves the bar element moveable. In the locking position the bar element holds an opening of the container closed, while in the opening position tends to open the opening of the container. The device may be used for automatically opening a container, which may contain fodder for feeding horses, at a chosen time. Such a timer device for a container which has at least a first locking element and a second locking element is described
