A mixer feeder comprising:
- a mobile chassis,
- a tub provided on the chassis, and
- at least one auger provided for rotation about a respective vertical axis of rotation in the tub,
- wherein, seen in a top view of the mixer feeder, the tub has opposing semi-circular ends, and
- wherein, seen in a vertical cross-section of the mixed feeder, a wall of the tub extends at least substantially upright from a bottom of the tub, characterised in that the tub wall curves continuously inward at an upper side of the tub over the entire circumference of the tub,
- wherein the inwardly curving tub wall at the upper side of the tub includes an initially upwardly sloping portion and a downwardly extending portion that forms an upside-down gutter for reducing the risk of material subjected to the operation of the at least one auger unintentionally moving out of the tub,
