Daily feeding of livestock is essential in animal husbandry, and currently, this process typically requires the use of hay feeders.
[0003] Existing livestock forage feeding troughs can basically meet normal usage needs. They mainly include a feeding trough, in which forage is placed, and animals stick their heads out of the fence to eat. However, when adding food to the feeding trough, the most common way of adding food is to manually add the forage to the feeding trough regularly, and then flatten the forage added to the feeding trough to make the forage evenly distributed in the feeding trough. The entire adding process is relatively time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, due to the regular addition of forage, the forage in the feeding trough may be eaten up, resulting in the feeding trough not always having forage for livestock to eat, and the feeding effect needs to be improved. Based on this, the utility model provides a livestock forage feeding trough. Utility Model Content

[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of arc-shaped feeding openings are provided on a side wall of the feeding trough away from the discharge pipe.
[0009] Furthermore, the side walls of the support plate are provided with bolts fixedly connected to the side walls of the storage bin.
[0010] Furthermore, a controller is provided on the outer side wall of the support plate on one side, and the controller is electrically connected to the infrared transmitter, infrared receiver, control valve, turning component, and grass pushing component.
[0011] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0012] Under the joint action of the infrared transmitter, infrared receiver, etc., when the forage in the feeding trough is lower than the infrared transmitter, the controller controls the extension and retraction of the electric push rod and the opening of the control valve. The extension and retraction of the electric push rod drives the extension and retraction of the push plate and the push leaf, so that the livestock forage in the feeding trough is evenly distributed for livestock to eat.

[0025] Principle of the utility model
[0026] When the forage in the feeding trough 1 is lower than the infrared transmitter 6, the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transmitter 6 are received by the infrared receiver 7, and the controller 18 receives the signal transmitted by the infrared receiver 7. After receiving the signal, the controller 18 controls the electric push rod 13 to extend and retract, and the control valve 5 to open. The extension of the electric push rod 13 drives the push plate 14 and the push leaf 15 to extend and retract, thereby making the livestock forage in the feeding trough 1 evenly distributed for livestock to eat. The control valve 5 opens, and the livestock forage in the storage bin 3 is added to the feeding trough 1 through the discharge pipe 4, thereby realizing automatic pushing and adding. When the added forage is higher than the infrared transmitter 6, the infrared receiver 7 cannot receive the infrared rays, and the controller 18 controls the electric push rod 13 to reset and the control valve 5 to close, ending the pushing and adding work. There is no need to manually and regularly put the forage into the feeding trough 1 evenly, which saves time and effort, and can ensure that there is always forage in the feeding trough 1 for livestock to eat, and the feeding effect is better.
