Tubular guide rail (3) covers the entire stable area, and includes a number of bends. Containers (9) suspended from recessed U-shaped brackets (10) are filled with fodder at an automatic mixing dosing device (11). Operating card (18) runs over guide roller (15). Container contents are tipped into bottom feed trough, and due to a pre-selected centre of gravity position. Containers automatically return to the upright position after emptying.
