Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed manufacturing, and more specifically, to a feed spreading device. Background Technology

[0002] Livestock require feeding during the rearing process. Some livestock need to be released outdoors for feeding in sunny weather, while in bad weather they need to be brought indoors for feeding. However, some current feed dispensing devices have a relatively simple structure and cannot effectively adjust the device for both feeding methods. For example, the patent with publication number CN108782324A can only put feed into a feeding box. This prevents the livestock from exercising when feeding outdoors. Also, when there are many livestock, the limited number of feeding boxes makes it inconvenient for the livestock to share the feed, thus reducing the effectiveness of livestock rearing and the quality of the livestock after slaughter.
