ABSTRACT:
An automatic feed system is disclosed for livestock which identifies each of a plurality of animals and selectively feeds certain animals while monitoring the feeding procedure. The system includes a magnetically encoded identification module worn about the animal's neck operating in cooperation with a magnetic decoder fixedly secured at the front of a feeding bin or hopper. A multiplexer sequentially detects the signals generated by the decoder and processes the signals to a microprocessor via an amplifier signal conditioner and an analog to digital converter. The output of the microprocessor is operably coupled to a feed control and automatic gate for dispensing a predetermined amount of feed. A readout is available for animal record keeping and system review.
