Feeding system for cows and other ruminants - automatically adds trace elements and appetite stimulants to liq. sprayed onto solid food

摘要

The liquified food additive is pumped (1) from a mixing and storage reservoir (3) to spraying manifolds (2) which have outlets (6) at intervals above the feeding troughs. The pipe (4) between the reservoir and the pump has a gravity trap (5) which acts as a filter. The pump is controlled by an electrical circuit inside a watertight cabinet (7). Typically, the additive consists of a solution of sugars, trace minerals, etc., which promotes the appetites of the animals or which aids their digestion, causing a high conversion ratio between the quantity of solid food and the animals' weight gain. @(6pp Dwg.No.1/1)@.
