A method and a pig feeder is described for mixing metered amounts of liquid and dry feed. Both are caused to migrate in a downward direction over a mixing region to a feeding region of a feeding trough. The liquid and dry feed are both dispensed from above the mixing region so as to fall onto the mixing region in a generally downward manner, and are delivered onto the mixing region in a predetermined dispersal pattern. The liquid is delivered on to the mixing region in a similar pattern, typically by means of a spray nozzle. The delivery of feed and water is animal activated, and the animal activation is inhibited at intervals so that the feeding cycle of the animals is controlled. To this end the intervals between inhibition and/or the duration of each inhibition is adjustable. The level of feed in the trough is sensed to prevent build up of uneated mixed feed in the trough.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif d'alimentation pour porcs. Ce dispositif permet de mélanger des quantités dosées de liquides et d'aliments secs qui se déplacent vers le bas, sur une zone de mélange jusqu'à une zone d'alimentation d'une auge. Les aliments secs et les liquides sont distribués à partir du dessus de la zone de mélange de manière à tomber sur la zone de mélange vers le bas, et sont amenés à la zone de mélange selon une disposition prédéterminée. Les liquides sont amenés dans la zone de mélange selon une disposition semblable, généralement au moyen d'une buse de pulvérisation. L'apport d'aliments et d'eau est activé par l'animal, et l'activation de l'animal est inhibée à certains intervalles de manière à contrôler le cycle d'alimentation des animaux. Dans ce but, les intervalles entre l'inhibition et/ou la durée de chaque inhibition peuvent être ajustés. Le niveau d'alimentation dans l'auge est détecté pour éviter l'accumulation d'aliments mélangés non mangés dans l'auge.
