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.

1.  Place the Feed Trough on your farm. Upon entering your farm, a window will pop up offering to let you place it. 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.)

2.  Collect Feed. You will need to collect 20 bags of feed to attract a wandering animal.


Animal Feed can be found by:

• Visiting your neighbors' feed troughs and clicking on them.
• Publishing a request (via the trough's "Ask for Feed" button) to your Facebook news feed.
• Collecting extra animal feed posted by your neighbors.
• Purchasing from the FarmVille Market. A bag of feed is 1 Farm Cash each.

3.  Wait for Wandering Animal. Once you have filled your trough with 20 bags of animal feed, a wandering animal will show up within the day.

4. Adopt the Wandering Animal before it leaves. The explanation screen indicates wandering animals attracted by the feed trough will not wait around indefinitely. It doesn't say exactly how much time farmers have to claim the animal.
