A broadcast feeder for projecting food aggregate or pellets directionally into an area up to, for example, sixty or more feet away from the feed container. The action is controlled to provide a predetermined quantity of aggregate at a predetermined time. The velocity of the feed as it exits the feeder is such that the area directly surrounding the feeder is free of feed particulate. A modular design affords the ability to operate as a self-contained unit with its own storage hopper or as a retrofit module added to existing conventional barrel type scatter type feeders. The projection of the feed is accomplished by propelling the feed pellets with a center intake centrifugal air blower assembly designed such that no special feed gates, baffles or chutes are required.
