System for feeding cattle - supplies fodder ingredients in proportion to weight of animal

摘要

The system for feeding cattle provides each animal with a quantity of food which is proportional to the weight of the animal. A platform (34) installed in front of the feeding trough (10) is connected to a controller (32). When the animal stands on the platform (34) the controller is activated so that a signal is transmitted to the fodder metering devices (18, 20, 22) so that the required quantity of each of three ingredients is allowed to flow to the trough (10). The amount of fodder released is proportional to the weight of the animal so that as the animal grows and its weight increases the amount of food provided also increases. ADVANTAGE - Mixes required ingredients in quantities proportional to animal weight.
