Adjustable feed settings We have made some changes to our Feedomatic treadle feeder. It is now possible to adjust the height of the feed distribution. In the previous model there was only one setting for the feed distribution (comparable with setting one). Now we have created more settings which allows you to regulate the feed distribution. We have added an extra backplate to the inclined plate which opens when an animal steps on the treadle. The standard setting is setting one, the difference between each setting is 6 mm.
