Described is a feeding tube comprising a shaft (2) which adjoins a tube head (1) and has at least two channels (3, 4), namely a food channel (3) and a fluid channel (4), said shaft carrying at its end a balloon (5) which is connected to the fluid channel (4) and through which the food channel (3) passes, wherein the tube head (1) has supply connections (6, 7) for the channels (3, 4), the supply connections being fitted with valves (8, 9). In order to achieve advantageous construction conditions, it is proposed that the tube head (1), which forms a tube part that is separate from the shaft (2), forms a plug-in coupling for the shaft (2), which shaft can be cut to length, for connecting the channels (3, 4) to the associated supply connections (6, 7), wherein the plug-in coupling comprises coupling connectors (10) which engage in the channels (3, 4) of the shaft (2).
