Abstract:
1. A feed-dispensing device, comprising: a container with a side wall and a substantially vertical, mixing and/or cutting device which is situated inside said container and can be rotatably driven, wherein, in the side wall, a dispensing opening is provided which can be closed by means of a slide which is slidable along a path, wherein the feed-dispensing device also comprises a removing device for removing feed contained in the container therefrom, wherein the removing device comprises a body which is placed substantially in front of the dispensing opening and outside the container, parallel to the side wall, which body is rotatably driven about an axis and provided with a plurality of feed-entraining projections, wherein at least a plurality of projections extend through the dispensing opening as far as into the container, at least in an operating position, when the body rotates, wherein the feed-dispensing device furthermore comprises a positioning device which is configured to rotate the body about the axis until an at-rest position is reached in which all projections project less far into the container than an outermost peripheral path of all these projections, and wherein the positioning device comprises a sensor for measuring a rotation position of the body and for emitting a measured position signal, as well as a control circuit for rotating and/or detaining the body to and/or into the at-rest position on a basis of the position signal.
