Fodder mixing and feeding the fodder, method and apparatus for supplying fodder using the same

A method for automatically supplying fodder into a cowshed comprising the steps of:

• supplying a raw material for fodder associated with cowshed selected by the operator from a raw material storage tank equipped with a dispenser into a feeder for mixing the raw material into fodder and feeding the mixed fodder to the cowshed;
• moving the feeder to the selected cowshed, while the raw material for the fodder is mixed in the feeder by a mixing means arranged in the feeder at the same time;
• detecting that the feeder arrives at the selected cowshed by means of a sensor and discharging the mixed fodder for the cowsheds;
• and
• terminating the discharge of the mixed fodder from the feeder being moved, by a section limit sensor for the selected cowshed and returning the feeder to its initial position.

An apparatus for automatically supplying fodder into cowsheds comprising:

• a shed in which a plurality of cowshed groups divided into about a central passageway;
• a rail mounted on the central passageway:
• a plurality of sensors mounted on top of the rail;
• a feeder moving back and forth along the rails by reversible movement motors;
• and
• a raw material storage tank and a coarse fodder storehouse formed outside the shed equipped with a dispenser, wherein the sensors formed on top of the rail are located in both a start end and a termination end, respectively, of each of the cowsheds.
