A poultry feeding system for a shed housing a flock of birds includes a female feeding line (36), a male feeding line (43), and a feed supply system which includes a weigh bin (31) for supplying feed to the female feed line (36), and a weigh bin (34) for supplying feed to the male feed line (43). An array of weighing cells (44) for automatically weighing and identifying at least some of the individual birds of the flock, is arranged about the shed; and the data provided by the weighing cells (44) is processed by first computer means (45) to average the overall weight of the flock in the shed. Data from the first computer means (45) is processed by second computer means (46) to calculate the ration of feed for the shed for a predetermined time interval to maintain optimum productive weight of the birds. A control means activates the feeding system at a predetermined time to supply the determined ration of feed. |
