The feeding system delivers feed from the bin to every feeder. Feed must arrive evenly along the whole line and in the right amount for the specific group of animals.

Feed distribution with dispensers above the pens, and individual and group feeders for each group of animals.

Schematic, not to scale.

How it works

A feeding line is calculated from the feed store to the last feeder: line lengths, feeders per head, drives and fill sensors.
