According to the invention, the feeding behavior, the fun and play behavior and the striving behavior of pigs are skillfully combined together by using the equipment with small occupied space, the installation and the transfer are convenient, and the equipment can be effectively prevented from being damaged by the pigs. Before feeding foodstuff, the flexible belt 17 is in an initial state, and at this time, the hemispherical inner shell 12, the hemispherical outer shell 13, the radial partition 14 and the flexible belt 17 jointly enclose a storage space 15 with an open top, and after the feeding system is started, foodstuff in the feeding system is fed into the storage space 15. Once the foodstuff is stored in the storage space 15, since the hemispherical shell 13 is transparent, the pig can only identify/observe the foodstuff species in the storage space 15, and at this time, the pig can only enjoy the foodstuff in two ways, mode one: the pigs only actively walk to the side of the corresponding storage space 15 according to own preference, and then actively arch and press the movable plate 16 to carry out interesting feeding; mode two: pig only walks to arbitrary storage space 15 side earlier, then transversely encircles and presses the position outside fly leaf 16, and when pig only preferred foodstuff rotated to pig only in the place ahead along with hemisphere storage mechanism, pig only initiatively encircles and presses the fly leaf 16 in the place ahead just before the pig just can carry out interesting ingestion.

When a new social level needs to be established, pigs that are always able to eat the preferred diet can only be considered as the pigs with the highest social level. If two pigs are enclosed beside the hemispherical storage mechanism, foodstuff can be put into one of the storage spaces 15 between the two pigs, and the trough 1 right below the storage space 15 storing the foodstuff is sealed, at the moment, the two pigs can transversely arch and press the part outside the movable plate 16 on the hemispherical storage mechanism, so that the hemispherical storage mechanism rotates after being stressed, and finally, the hemispherical storage mechanism rotates towards one side of the pig with great strength, so that the pig with great strength can eat the foodstuff, and the pig with great strength can be determined to have higher social grade. When more pigs are surrounded beside the hemispherical storage mechanism, food can be put in one of the storage spaces 15, and the trough 1 right below the storage space 15 storing the food is sealed, all the pigs can transversely arch and press the parts outside the movable plate 16 on the hemispherical storage mechanism, so that the hemispherical storage mechanism finally leans against the pig with the largest strength to rotate on one side after being stressed, and then the pig with the largest strength can eat the food, thereby determining that the pig with the largest strength has higher social grade. By adopting the scheme of the invention, the attention of pigs when the pigs actively select food is mainly focused on the continuously rotating storage space 15, so that the pigs can be well prevented from biting.

By adopting the scheme of the invention, not only can the pig actively select the favorite food to eat in a fun and playful way, but also the multi-headed pig can actively select the favorite food to eat only by using a small occupied space, and more importantly, a brand new striving way is provided for establishing the social grade of the pig, and the pig is prevented from being injured in the striving process as much as possible.
