ABSTRACT:
This system for feeding livestock is conceived to automatically identify the positions of the animals or of their stalls, and to automatically produce and dispense rations containing individualized feed mixtures programmable in relation with each particular animal and to readily adjust the rations according to the requirements of each animal. This livestock feeder system comprises an overhead guide track, a feed container suspended by a weighing scale from the guide track and divided into a plurality of compartments for different ingestible substances, conveyor screws to dispense and mix the substances and to produce and discharge the mixture, a programmable control unit to preset the different individualized rations, animal or stall position identifiers, and electric sensors to detect the positions and discharge the right ration at the right position for any particular animal.
