Abstract
Existing farm animal food drop systems have problems associated with speed of drop of food causes it to bounce off and out of the food manger. Presented herein is a drop tube (1) arranged to provide food to an animal in a milking stable, said drop tube (1) being configured to receive food from a food container arranged vertically above the drop tube (1) and to deliver the received food into a food manger, said drop tube (1) comprising a tubular connection section (2) configured to be connected to a food container, a tubular mid-section (3), which in a first end is connected to the connection section (2), and a tubular end section (4), which is connected to a second end of the tubular mid-section (3). The tubular end section (4) has a centre axis (x1), the tubular end section (4) presents an opening (13) in a tubular wall portion of the tubular end section (4), and the tubular end section (4) has an end wall (14) which is intersected by the centre axis (x1) of the tubular end section (4).
