A method for the preparation and distribution of feed for animals, especially suitable for feeding piglets, includes a first step of preparing in a mixer a predetermined volume of a feed mixture of dry feed and diluting liquid. In a second step the feed mixture is distributed to the trough of each of the stalls, a volume of the mixture prepared in first step which varies according to the final volume of feed to be prepared for each trough. The third step requires diluting in each trough the feed mixture distributed in second step with a dilution liquid in order to obtain in each trough the final volume of feed with a predetermined concentration for each trough. The dilution of the third step is done by distributing the dilution liquid through the same conduits as that by which the mixture prepared in first step has been distributed to ensure cleaning of these conduits.
