System Overview
Feeding Systems for Different Farm Layouts
Feeding equipment selection depends on daily ration volume, animal groups, available access routes and the balance between manual and automated operations. GREAT FARM supports modular equipment selection rather than applying one arrangement to every farm.
01
Intelligent Feeding Robot
An automated feed delivery option for suitable sheep and goat barns. Route design, feed loading, movement and operating controls require confirmation for each project.
02
Smart Central Feeding Kitchen
A centralized approach incorporating concentrate storage and dosing, roughage addition, optional liquid ingredients, TMR mixing and finished-feed discharge under a control system.
03
Basic TMR Mixer
A standalone mixer for preparing total mixed rations before delivery. Mixer volume, cutting/mixing characteristics, drive requirements and discharge arrangement vary by selected machine.
04
TMR + Loading Unit
An integrated mixing-station arrangement linking ingredient reception, main ingredient loading, TMR mixing and process controls. Integration is confirmed against the actual equipment specification.
05
Conveyor-Belt Feeding System
Combines ingredient loading, ration preparation or feeding management, and mechanical conveying/distribution. Belt length and placement are designed for the barn.
06
Ground-Level Belt Feeding
A space-conscious belt delivery layout along the feed line. Applicability depends on trough details, access, hygiene and the housing layout; a site check is required.
Automated Feed Delivery
Conveyor-Based Feeding Integration
Conveyor-assisted feeding can move prepared feed from the loading point toward feed alleys and troughs. It can be considered where repetitive feed distribution is required and adequate supporting structure is available.
Equipment arrangement follows the building dimensions and feeding line.
Loading, receiving and delivery points are determined during layout design.
Power, controls, safety guarding and cleanout access are project-specific.
Suitable for new facilities or selected retrofit projects following site assessment.
Feed Preparation
TMR Mixing & Central Preparation
Correct feed preparation helps the farm distribute a ration developed by its nutrition adviser. A central mixing setup can coordinate feed ingredient reception, dosing, mixing and discharge, but the actual mixing sequence and accuracy depend on the equipment chosen.
Concentrate and roughage handling components can be combined as needed.
Liquid feed addition is optional and subject to material compatibility.
Feed mixing duration and ration loading are set according to ingredient properties.
Operator inspection, cleaning and preventive maintenance remain necessary.
Plan a Feeding System for Your Farm

Frequently Asked Questions
Sheep Feeding Equipment FAQ
1. Which feeding arrangement is suitable for a medium-sized sheep farm?
It depends on ration volume, labor arrangements, building access and investment objectives. A TMR mixer with managed distribution or a selected feeding robot may be considered following a layout review.
2. Can the feeding equipment be customized for an existing sheep barn?
Selected systems may be adapted, subject to measured aisle widths, trough design, structural supports, clearances and the available electricity supply.
3. Does the system automatically prepare feed recipes?
Some control packages can manage recipe-related processes. Exact weighing, batching, recipe storage and automation features must be confirmed for the offered model.
4. Can one system distribute both concentrate and roughage?
Potentially, when ingredient handling, mixing and delivery components are compatible. The proposed ration and material properties must be reviewed before equipment selection.
5. What capacity does the TMR mixer provide?
No fixed capacity is specified in the supplied materials. Batch volume, permitted loading mass and mixing power will be stated in the confirmed model datasheet.
6. Is automatic feeding completely labor-free?
No. Operators still need to manage feed supply, inspect equipment, check feed quality, carry out cleaning and respond to alarms or maintenance requirements.
7. Can the conveyor system be connected to a central mixing station?
Such integration may be possible when discharge height, conveyance capacity, layout and control compatibility are coordinated during engineering design.
8. What information is required for a proposal?
Please provide herd numbers and groups, building drawings, feed type, daily ration, available utilities, country or region, and the preferred level of automation.
