[0002] Animal husbandry is a production sector that utilizes the physiological functions of domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry, or wild animals such as chickens, deer, musk deer, foxes, minks, otters, and quails, through artificial breeding and raising to convert plant energy such as pasture and feed into animal energy in order to obtain livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, hides, silk, and medicinal materials. Feeding devices are required when feeding these poultry.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN212589542U discloses a feeding device for livestock feed production, including a main frame and hinges. A device cover is rotatably connected to the top of the main frame via the hinges, and a feeding door and a locking component are movably connected to one side wall of the main frame. This feeding device for livestock feed production solves the problems of feed bags being too heavy to handle, reducing feeding efficiency, and feed spillage during feeding due to the weight of the bags. Furthermore, the device cover on the top of the main frame effectively protects the feed in the storage silo, preventing it from getting wet even in rainy weather.

[0004] The above-mentioned device has the following problems during use: Feeding can cause feed to pile up in one place, especially when feeding a large flock of chickens. When the chickens huddle together, it can cause the animals to trample, affect air quality, and cause some chicks to get injured or die. In addition, the number of chickens eating at the same time is small, which leads to slow feeding efficiency.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, an innovative design is urgently needed based on the existing feeding device. Utility Model Content
