[0002] In the feeding and management of Tibetan sheep, accurate feeding is a key link to ensure the healthy development and improve the breeding benefit. Under the traditional breeding mode, the concentrate feeding of sheep usually relies on manual operation: the staff mixes different types of granular concentrate (such as corn, soybean meal, wheat bran, etc.) according to experience or estimation, pours them into the feed trough in a certain proportion, and feeds.

[0003] The traditional feeding mode, on the one hand, the feeding amount is difficult to control accurately, and the daily intake of sheep will dynamically change due to factors such as growth stage, body weight, milk yield, etc. If the concentrate is insufficiently added manually, it may lead to substandard animal nutrition intake, affecting growth and development, and if it is added in excess, it will cause concentrate waste and increase breeding cost. In addition, the remaining concentrate in the open feed trough is easy to be stolen by mice, birds and other animals, further aggravating the loss of resources, therefore, we propose a sheep feeding concentrate mixing to solve the above problems.
