Abstract

See full text

A feed intake control apparatus for caged animals is disclosed which comprises a movable belt adapted to cover a standard feeding device such as a feed trough adjacent to a cage wherein a portion of the belt contains an opening to provide both an opened and closed position for the belt over the feeding device. A control device for the belt is also provided for preselected movement of the belt to either an opened or closed position to permit the animal access to a feeding device when the belt is in an opened position and denying the animal access when the belt is in a closed position. The feed intake control apparatus of the present invention is readily adaptable to existing cage and trough type feeding systems without elaborate or extensive modification.
