Abstract: A device for automatically supplying a predetermined amount of feed to an animal in a period of time respectively a period having a predetermined length. Said device is provided with a feeding parlour, with animal identification means for identifying an animal present at the feeding parlour, and with a computer for controlling the device for automatically supplying the feed to the feeding parlour. The computer is possibly provided with a clock for determining the point of time of supply of feed to the animal. The device is provided with means for determining the amount of feed consumed by an animal after a supply of feed. Said amount is stored at least temporarily in a memory of the computer. The computer is provided with a calculating device for determining the total amount of feed consumed by an animal in the period having the predetermined length immediately preceding the momentary point of time when the animal is identified by the animal identification means at the feeding parlour.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dosing closure consisting of extruded plastic, designed for free-flowing material. Said closure consists of a housing (1) with a dosing element (2) that can be pivoted therein. The housing (1) forms a cap with an associated cap cover (16) that is either separate or formed onto the edge of the cap in a hinged manner. Said cover can be closed to seal the cap by means of snap-fastening closures (21, 22). The cap has an intermediate base (23), a one-piece dosing element (2) being pivotally mounted between the cap cover (16) and the intermediate base (23). Said element consists of a circular-segment shaped body, in which three adjacent sub-segments (6, 7, 8) are formed by radial partitions. The central sub-segment forms a chamber (7), whose upper and lower faces are open, whereas one (6) of the outer sub-segments (6, 8) is open on its upper face and closed on its lower face and the other (8) is closed on its upper face and open on its lower face. The chamber (7) communicates, depending on the pivoted position of the dosing element (2), with an opening (17) in the cap (16), or an opening (18) in the flattened intermediate base (24). The pivoted dosing element (2) is constantly returned to the initial position by means of the sprung rib (30).
