<p>A device for automatic and controlled dosage of additives to animal fodder, which can be designed as a movable dosing device for an individual animal at its standing place or as a stationary device to which an individual animal walks, determines the meal on the basis of the animal's identification code and the process taking place in a foddering unit (11). The latter is constructed of at least one, preferentially several storage bins (1) for one or several fodder additives, where the storage bins (1) are equipped with a dosing unit (2) on the bottom side. Under the outlet mouth (4) of each dosing unit (2), a receptacle (5) is installed, resting on a forked and console-shaped carrier (7) including a sensor (8) for the weight of the receptacle (5) and the substance poured-in at any time. The receptacle (5) is positioned fixedly or movably above the place, preferentially a trough (10), accessible to the animal that the additive is intended for, after which the foddering unit (11) turns around the receptacle (5) on this place and pours out its contents into the trough (10).</p> |
