A sensor assembly on a swine-activated self-feeder allows monitoring or tracking of individual animal feeding activity, thereby allowing corrective action to be taken in instances of under-feeding or over-feeding by an animal. The sensor assembly includes a sensor on the feed dispenser and, with a printed circuit board to generate a signal corresponding to activation of the dispenser by an animal. The signal can be sent to a computer or website which generates reports on the individual animal's feeding activity.

The present application discloses an interactive intelligent pet feeding device which belongs to the technical field of pet feeding devices, including a feeding device body, the feeding device body including a pet food feeding control device and a shake detection module, the pet food feeding control device being configured to realize quantitative feeding of pet food and prevent jamming of the pet food, the shake detection module being configured to detect the motion state of the feeding device body, the shake detection module being connected to a control module to implement data communication, and the control module implementing data communication with a mobile terminal through a wireless transmission module. The feeding device body further includes an upper casing, a lower casing provided below the upper casing, the upper casing and the lower casing being connected to form an inside hollow chamber, an upper part of the chamber being provided with a granary, a top lid being provided above the upper casing, and a feeding bowl being provided outside the lower casing. The device enable pets to obtain corresponding food according to the movement of pets, realize automatic pet feeding, and solve the problems in the prior art.

An animal feeder apparatus including a feed hopper defining an interior for receiving a quantity of feed, an upper opening and a lower feed discharge opening. A feed shelf may be located below the feed hopper and have an upper feed support surface with at least a portion of the upper feed support surface being located directly below the feed discharge opening of the feed hopper. A feed trough may be located toward the bottom of the apparatus below the feed hopper and below the feed shelf, and form a lower feed support surface upon which feed falling from the hopper and shelf rests. A feed shelf movement assembly may be configured to permit a feeding animal to move the feed shelf from a location adjacent to the lower feed support surface of the feed trough.

A hog or swine feeder includes one or more stations for serving a single hog at a time. Each station includes a bowl, with a feed dispenser above the bowl, and a water dispenser below the feed dispenser. The feed and the water dispensers are actuated by the hog on demand. A hopper in the feeder supplies dry feed to the feed dispenser. The hog can select dry feed, wet feed, or drinking water, as needed.

An automatic feed device has a drive unit, a feed chimney, a feed unit mounted under the feed chimney and equipped with a case opening up and down for connection, a tubular sleeve deployed inside the case for accommodating a rotatable drum and opening up and down as an allocation for a feed inlet and a feed outlet, wherein the rotatable drum prepared with an impeller and a pair of round barriers for fixing the impeller between, the impeller having a plurality of blades arranged at equal angle, between the adjacent blades dividing several spaces in positional correspondence with the feed inlet and feed outlet and making rotation once driven by the drive unit. Therefore, the users can control the accurate amount for provender supply by manipulating the drive unit.

The present invention relates to an automatic feeder and a feeding pipe thereof. A feeding pipe (1) discharges a feed when a pig gnaws a gnawing block (12) thereon, and when the gnawing block (12) is gnawed, a pressure sensor (14) is triggered; a hopper (2) is configured to be filled with a dry feed material; one end of a spiral conveyor (3) is connected with a motor (4), the other end of the spiral conveyor is located in the feeding pipe (1), and the spiral conveyor (3) is configured to convey the dry feed material in the hopper (2) to the feeding pipe (1); the motor (4) provides power for rotation of the spiral conveyor (3); a water supply pipeline (5) provides water for the dry feed material in the feeding pipe (1) for feed mixing; and after receiving a triggering signal of the pressure sensor (14), a control unit (7) controls the motor (4) to be powered on and the water supply pipeline (5) to be opened simultaneously, and when not receiving the triggering signal of the pressure sensor (14), the control unit (7) controls the motor (4) to be powered off and the water supply pipeline (5) to be closed.

A feeding apparatus for poultry is disclosed, and comprises a feed source, a feed line formed at the feed source, a feed valve mechanism arranged in the feed line and which in a closed valve position blocks feed from passing through the feed line and in an open valve position allows feed to pass through the feed line. The feeding apparatus has a pecking block which is moveably mounted and mechanically coupled to the feed valve mechanism in such a way that the feed valve mechanism is closed when the pecking block is in a neutral position and the feed valve mechanism is open when the pecking block is in a deflected position due to pecking at the pecking block.
