Embodiment Construction

[0051] exist figure 1 In , a feeding table 1 and a feed pusher 3 operating on the feeding table 1 are shown schematically. The feeding table 1 may be part of the floor in the cowshed. The feeding table 1 can have different forms, for example rectangular or square or "L" or "T" form. The feed pusher 3 is arranged to travel along the longitudinal axis 5 of the feeding table 1 at a distance x from the feeding table edge 7 . The feeding table edge 7 defines the edges and sides of the feeding table 1 where the animals eat. The position of the animals on the feeding table 1 is represented by a row of squares 2, wherein each square represents the position of an animal on the feeding table 1.

[0052] The feeding table 1 comprises conductive wires 4 arranged to enable a feed pusher 3 to travel along the feeding table 1 . The conductive wire 4 can be arranged as a loop integrated in the feeding table 1, this embodiment is for example figure 1 shown. As an alternative, part of the...

Abstract

A method related to the operation of a feed pusher (3) is described. The feed pusher (3) is arranged to travel on the feeding table (1) at a distance (x) from the feeding table edge (7) along the longitudinal axis (5) of the feeding table (1) and to propel the animal feed placed on the feeding table (1) laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis (5) towards the feeding table edge (7) by a rotational movement of a rotatable screw (9) driven by an electric motor (11). The method comprises the steps of obtaining a parameter value related to the motor (11) during a time period of operation of the feed pusher (3), and estimating an amount of animal feed that has been propelled during said time period based on the obtained parameter value. A feed pusher (3) for animal feed is also described.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the processing of animal feed on a feeding table. Background technique [0002] On farms, such as cattle ranches and / or dairies, animals will be fed by distributing animal feed onto a feeding table in front of the feed pen. As the animal eats, the amount of animal feed decreases. At some point, leftover animal feed is out of reach of the animal and needs to be moved, eg pushed to a pen within reach of the animal, and at some point, new animal feed needs to be prepared. Therefore, animal feed needs to be processed several times a day, which is time-consuming. In recent years, especially in larger livestock operations, it has proven advantageous to move animal feed closer to the animals via automatic feed changers. By using an automatic feed changer, farmers can save a lot of time by concentrating on other tasks on the farm while the automatic feed changer is handling animal feed on the feeding table. [0003] During ...
