ABSTRACT:
A method of controlling feed ingredients and quantity consumed by livestock including the steps of confining the livestock in an area, segregating the livestock into two or more groups, providing each of the segregated groups of livestock with its own individual feed receptacle, dispensing accurately measured uniform quantities of feed into each receptacle at numerous intervals each day. In the case of poultry, for example, groups of five chickens each may be confined in a cage with a feed receptacle that is on the order of 15 inches in length provided therefor. Feed may be dispensed into each receptacle on the order of about 4 to 20 times each day. For groups of five chickens fed 16 times a day, for example, the quantity of feed dispensed into each receptacle at each feeding interval may be about one ounce per 15 inches or five chickens.
