[0002] Livestock farming has always been a key sector of agriculture, meeting the continuous human demand for meat, dairy products, and other livestock products. To achieve efficient, sustainable, and hygienic livestock production, farmers rely on feed towers as crucial storage devices for feeding animals. These feed towers store and deliver feed to ensure animals receive a proper diet and grow healthily. However, traditional livestock feed towers often face a series of problems during use, which directly affect farming efficiency and feed quality.

[0003] Inside the feed tower, feed is easily affected by humidity and temperature, leading to clumping. This makes it difficult for the feed to flow evenly, increasing the unevenness of the output and thus reducing the feeding effect. In addition, humid or hot weather conditions can also easily cause feed to mold, reducing its quality and nutritional value. Moldy feed may have a negative impact on animal health and also increase feed waste.

[0004] Currently, most livestock feed towers are ventilated by directly injecting air into them. However, the feed inside the feed towers is piled up and compacted, which leads to poor air circulation and affects the ventilation effect. Utility Model Content
