Patent ID: 10820571

Abstract:
A self-feeder for sows, which includes a hopper, a feed volume adjusting mechanism, and a discharge mechanism. The hopper includes a C-shaped housing, a front side plate, a bottom plate, and a guide plate. A gap is disposed between the bottom plate and the front side plate and used as a discharge port. The discharge mechanism includes a discharge plate, a push rod, a top cap, and a stop pin. An upper end of the push rod passes through the bottom plate and the guide plate and is welded to the discharge plate. The self-feeder has a simple structure; the feed volume can be adjusted freely, and fodder can be discharged avoiding falling on the eyes and snout of a sow; the manual discharging times is reduced; the sow can eat fresh fodder and the fodder may not get out; therefore, the fodder is not wasted and manpower is saved.
