Grass feeder for sheep and goats
MP Automatic Feeding Belt The feed ration and the barn of a farm are probably the two main factors that determine its viability. Animal feeding must take place in a comfortable environment and the amount of feed must be distributed evenly and uniformly. This is why Milkplan constructed feeding belts which occupy little space and are a key tool for any farmer. Feeding is done easily on one side at the speed desired by the farmer, and trapping of animals allows him to vaccinate or mark them easily.
