This cover is roughly in the shape of a wire basket that is placed over the green fodder. However, this design allows the animals to pull out the food in clumps and scatter it. The invention relates to such a device, where this is avoided. It consists of the cover being spring-loaded. The animals are thus forced to to tear off the fronds or leaves individually, much as if they were tearing off a harm rooted in the ground, or a leaf from the stem. This prevents the waste of feed.

The working method of the hay feeder consists of the feed filled into the container 3 (upper part) being moved by means of the four springs 5 ​​or rubber strands. held or stretched springily between the upper part 3 and the base (lower part), and the animals can access the feed through appropriately large meshes of the Wire mesh can be bitten or pulled. The economic viability of the hay feeder is therefore absolutely guaranteed.
