Automatic feedingsystem

What is an automatic feedingsystem?

An automatic feedingsysteem feeds the cows by itself. It is a small feedingwagon wich is constructed  under a rail in the barn. At the back of the barn is the kitchen who has to be filled by tractor or wheelloader. In the kitchen is room for several different feedingtypes. The machine feeds small portions of feed  several times a day. This increases the fodder intake and the milkingproduction. It´s also possible to make different feedingrations. Than you can make different productiongroups and you can feed the drycows also a special ration.

-Less labour

Disadvantages

-it´s expensive
