The right side of the feed trough 2 is fixedly connected to a rotating drive assembly, which includes a motor 11. The left side of the motor 11 is fixedly connected to the right side of the feed trough 2. The motor 11 serves as a driving device to provide power for the rotation of the stirring rod 13. The driving end of the motor 11 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 12, and the rotating rod 12 rotates under the drive of the motor 11.
[0041] The stirring rod 13 is driven to stir and mix the feed and additives in the storage trough 2. The material of the rotating rod 12 is strong and can withstand the output torque of the motor 11. It also has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance and can be used for a long time. The outside of the driving component is fixedly connected with multiple stirring rods 13. The stirring rods 13 stir and mix the feed and additives in the storage trough 2 to ensure the uniformity of the feed. The material of the stirring rod 13 is strong and can withstand the resistance of the feed and the action of external forces. The design of the stirring rod 13 is reasonable, with moderate length and shape, and can fully stir the feed and additives in the storage trough 2 to ensure the uniformity of the feed.

A feed box 7 is mounted below push rod 6. When the livestock are hungry, they push down on the feed box 7. As the feed box 7 descends, push rod 6 slides within chute 5, opening baffle 4 and allowing feed from trough 2 to be quantitatively delivered to the trough through hopper 3. A spring 9 is connected between feed box 7 and outer bracket 1. When the livestock leaves, the spring's force resets the feed box 7, closing baffle 4 again and stopping feed delivery.
[0053] Top cover 10 prevents debris from entering trough 2. When motor 11 is activated, it drives rotating rod 12 to rotate. A stirring rod 13 on rotating rod 12 stirs and mixes the feed and additives in trough 2, ensuring feed uniformity. Fixed rod 14 connects rotating rod 12 to fixed block 15, stabilizing rotating rod 12.
[0054] Sleeve 16 houses spring 2 (17) and cylindrical sleeve 18, which connects to scraper 19. Motor 2 (20) drives rotating wheel 1 (22) via connecting rod 1 (21). Rotating wheel 1 (22) drives rotating wheel 2 (23) via belt 24. Rotating wheel 2 (23) drives rotating blocks 1 (26) and 2 (27) via connecting rod 2 (25), thereby pushing mounting block 28 up and down. Mounting block 28 connects to scraper 19. Rotating block 1 (26) and rotating block 2 (27) automatically adjust their height based on the animal's feed intake and growth stage, scraping the inner wall of trough 2 to prevent feed from sticking and facilitating cleaning.
