Problems solved by technology
Excessive chopping of fiber components can result in mixed animal feeds with fiber components that are too short in length to promote optimal digestion of nutrients in the animal's stomach
Excessive mixing can also lead to deterioration of the fiber component to such an extent that the properties of the fiber material used to improve the digestive function of the stomach are lost
And this insufficient mixing of the fibrous material in the mixer / feed cart while chopping the ingredients and producing an inadequately mixed animal feed also results in some of the fibrous material of the animal feed being of excessive length and size

Embodiment Construction
[0123] Refer to the attached drawings and initially refer to figure 1 , the figure shows a system according to the invention generally indicated by the reference numeral 1, which system is used to determine the mixing state for preparing homogeneously mixed animal feed from a set of ingredients, and to produce a homogeneous mixture in the mixing state animal feed. System 1 includes a main computer 2, typically located in a main station, and in communication with a plurality of first secondary computers 4, typically personal computers (PCs) located in respective farm of housing. figure 1 Only one of the first secondary computers 4 is shown, however, the other first secondary computers are substantially similar to the first secondary computers 4 . The respective first secondary computers 4 can all communicate with the main computer 2 via the Internet.
[0124] Typically, each farmer with the first secondary computer 4 has a herd of dairy cows or cows, a herd of beef cattle, a...

A method and apparatus for determining the state of mixing for the preparation of animal feed, wherein a host computer is programmed to store a general list of ingredients, which is available to the farmer and from which the farmer can select a specific one. The components are used in the preparation of animal feed. The host computer is programmed to store ingredients in a look-up table cross-referenced to standard mixing periods during which the corresponding ingredients should be subjected to produce animal feed. In addition, the look-up table contains mixing factors by which the standard mixing period can be varied to account for non-standard conditions, such as changes in ingredients, ratios of specific ingredients, average size or weight of animals, and mixing equipment in which animal feed is to be mixed and its condition. The computer is programmed to determine the mixing period that each ingredient is to undergo in the mixing device based on the corresponding standard mixing period and any mixing factors that should be considered. The computer is programmed to subsequently generate the order in which the components are to be loaded into the mixing device and the times at which the corresponding components are to be loaded into the mixing device, so that each component is subjected to stress for that component during the mixing cycle of the mixed state. Proper mixing period to avoid over-mixing and under-mixing of ingredients.
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and a device for determining the mixing state for preparing animal feed from a set of ingredients, and also relates to a system for the preparation of animal feed. Background technique [0002] Mixer / feeder apparatus, especially mixer / feeder carts, for preparing large quantities of animal feed from ingredients are well known. Such mixer / feed carts may be of the type commonly referred to as paddle mixer / feed carts, screw mixer / feed carts and barrel mixer / feed carts. Paddle mixer / feeder carts are disclosed in the applicant's PCT Published Application Specification No. WO 96 / 32836 and UK Patent Specification No. 2139911. Typically, such a mixer / feeder cart includes a mixing compartment in which the ingredients are homogeneously mixed, and a distribution compartment from which the mixed ingredients are dispensed. A mixing rotor, typically a paddle mixer, is rotatably located in the mixing compartment for mixing t...
