Abstract
A feeder for piglets has a flat base tray resting on the floor surface with an outer wall on the base tray surrounding a central feed area of the base tray defined by an upstanding plastic tube. The piglet can step over the outer wall to locate its front feet inside to retain any dropped feed and reaches through holes in the tube. The tube forms a hopper and feed dispensing drop duct mounted on the tray at the central feed area with a mouth of the duct spaced from the tray by a distance to control the deposit of feed onto the tray within the tube. An agitator is operable by the piglets to prevent lodging of the feed in the duct or hopper.
