DRY FEED DISPENSING DEVICE FOR HOGS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A device for dispensing dry feed to animals, particularly hogs, including a housing having an interior storage chamber for dry feed. An animal- actuatable valve projects downwardly through a discharge opening formed in the lower end of the housing to permit controlled dispensing of dry feed. The valve element has an upper valve plate disposed within the feed chamber for normally closing off the discharge opening, and an elongate actuator rod is fixed to the upper valve plate and projects downwardly for actuation by the animal. The valve plate is preferably of a downwardly- opening truncated conical configuration to permit scooping of feed into the discharge opening during oscillation of the valve element. The housing, in a preferred embodiment, has a sleevelike shroud fixed thereto and projecting downwardly from the discharge opening so as to extend partially along the actuator to prevent moisture from coming into close proximity to the discharge opening.
