摘要： A system and method are provided which allows for brood gates in feeders to be completely open upon the introduction of a flock of poultry thereto in order to present a high feed level within a pan member, and then to be automatically controlled to incrementally change the size and position of the brood gate to lower the feed level within a pan member over time as the birds grow. The system includes an electronic controller which is preprogrammed to set different positions at which the brood gate should be at different times. Software within the electronic controller implements changes of the position of the brood gate at the appropriate times by sending signals to an actuator which is connected to the feeders. Movement of the actuator causes the changing of size and position of the brood gates.

摘要： A poultry floor feeding system is provided which includes a feeder line, a hopper boot, a feed hopper, a mounting collar, and a securing member. The feeder line conveys feed to feeders located at spaced locations thereon. The hopper boot is located on the feeder line. The feed hopper supplies feed to the feeder line and has a body portion which terminates in a discharge port at a lower end thereof. The mounting collar is operatively associated with the discharge port of the feed hopper for connecting the feed hopper to the hopper boot on the feeder line. The securing member releasably secures the mounting collar to the feed hopper such that the feed hopper can be easily removed from and replaced onto the feeder line for cleaning or repair.

摘要： A feeder assembly is used in a feed distribution system having a feed supply conduit. The feeder assembly includes an elongated pan member. The feeder assembly includes first and second fill ports for receiving feed from the feed supply conduit and for providing feed onto a base portion of the pan member. Each fill port provides feed to a separate portion of the base portion of the elongated pan member. The fill ports are defined through an outer grill member having an elongated rim member which is operatively associated with the pan member. First and second drop tube members are associated with the first and second fill ports to direct feed flowing through the fill ports through first and second lower feed gates and onto the pan member. The drop tube members may have brood gates provided therethrough for providing a raised level of feed in the pan member.

摘要： A feeder assembly includes a pan and an outer grill which is operatively associated with the pan. The outer grill defines a plurality of apertures therethrough through which birds can eat the feed presented on the pan. First and second inner grills can be rotated to partially mask the apertures through the outer grill in order to effectively change the width of the apertures. The inner grills are connected to one another by interlocking fingers such that rotation of one of the inner grills causes rotation of the other inner grill in the opposite direction. The inner grills are rotated by a dial member which is secured to the outer grill and which, upon rotation thereof between predetermined positions, causes rotation of the one inner grill, which in turn causes rotation of the other inner grill in the opposite direction.

摘要： A feeder assembly for feeding birds of all kinds is provided in three separate embodiments. The feeder assembly of each embodiment is configured to provide for the welfare of birds as they feed from the feeder assembly by allowing the birds' breasts to conform to a rim member of the feeder assembly. The feeder assembly of two embodiments also provides for a lower feed gate to provide feed into a pan member of the feeder assembly. The lower feed gate is always open and can be raised or lowered as desired. The feeder assembly of one of the embodiments also provides for an upper feed gate to provide feed into the pan member of the feeder assembly. The upper feed gate can be opened or closed, and, when open, can adjust the height at which feed flows through the upper feed gate.

摘要： A feeder assembly includes a pan member and a drop tube assembly operatively associated with the pan member for providing feed to the pan member. The pan member has a base portion and an upstanding portion. The upstanding portion has a top surface which varies in vertical height relative to the base portion of the pan member without adjusting the feeder assembly. The upstanding portion also has an outward side surface which varies in radial distance relative to a center of said pan member. The varying top and outward side surfaces may also alternatively be provided for on a rim member which surrounds and is secured to the pan member.
