Abstrakt
A cattle farming is a very important sector of agriculture. In the Czech Republic, both
breeds with ‘combined useful’ as well as ‘meat cattle’ are breeding, but especially ‘dairy cattle’
breeds. Providing feed at the right time, in required quantity and quality is the basis of successful
breeding, especially in breeding dairy cows. Automatic systems are present in almost all sectors
of human activity, and livestock production is no exception. Fully automatic feeding systems for
pigs or poultry are already in use. The process of milking cattle using automated milking systems
is also sufficiently mastered. An interesting trend is the installation of automated feeding systems
for cattle feeding. They are stationary lines that perform the following operations: they dose the
individual components of the feed mixture, mix the feed mixture and distribute it to the relevant
feed places. All these activities are usually done without the presence of a person. The automated
feeding system Lely Vector and the conventional feeding system using feeding wagon Cernin
were compared. The number of automated feed wagon runs has been monitored and then the feed
consumption was compared while using automatic and conventional equipment. The aim of this
paper is to evaluate the benefits of an automatic feed system with regard to the conventional feed
system through a mobile feed car.
