FarmVille Animal Feed Trough Guide

FarmVille Feed Trough

The FarmVille Feed Trough is a new building with a purpose that awards farmers with wandering animals. The building almost takes up a 2x2 crop space. The Feed Trough is pre-built, so farmers won't have to worry about collecting construction materials.

Within 24 hours of collecting enough feed, a wandering animal should arrive on your farm. You will be able to adopt that animal--if you don't wait too long.

If you don't have the room for immediate placement, the trough will go to your gift box. If your gift box is full, a trough can be purchased in the market for 1 coin. (Limit one trough per farm.)
