Automated cattle feeding arrangement - has cattle stalls arranged in concentric circles, conveyor delivering fodder in measured amounts, and moving progressively around circles

摘要

The cattle stall has feeding spaces and a fodder transport means connecting to the operative end of a storage container. The transporter extends to a delivery point where a measured amount of fodder is discharged into the stall feeding point. The delivery end of the transporter is displaceable between one stall feeding point and another. The stall in plan view is circular, with the feeding places located in concentric circles (1, 2, 3). The storage container is located in the centre of the circles, and the transporter is a belty (40) whose delivery end is displaceable along the circles.
