Abstract

A feeder and a feeding method that can protect feedstuff from moisture, comprises a base, a feedstuff box with a feedstuff discharging port which can be driven to rotate; especially the said feedstuff box comprises a flap that can cover the said feedstuff discharging port. The said flap cover can be opened automatically when the feedstuff box rotates to the position that its discharge port is facing downwards, i.e. it is in the discharging status, and will be kept closed when the said discharge port facing upwards, i.e. it is not in the said discharging status. Said feedstuff port flap is assembled onto the feedstuff box by way of a shaft that is parallel to the rotating axial of said feedstuff box, with a counterweight assembled on its heavier side. Inside said feedstuff box comprises at least a rim on its sidewall, so feedstuff will strike with the rim to eliminate agglomeration when rotating. Especially for aquatic fishes feeding, the said feeder or feeding method can prevent the fish feedstuff located over fish tanks from agglomeration, which ensuring the automatic or accurate discharging of the feedstuff. The above measures are low cost and easy to take.
