Automatic Cattle Feeder Cleaning Device

Kristina Pavlova, Nikolay Stoimenov

Identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks that impact farm profitability and production are part of agricultural risk management. This article proposes a robot that will manage this risk. A new generation of robot-workers is reviving animal husbandry, thanks to a variety of technologies that are upending long-standing standards that have defined the way agricultural work is done. Robots can complete labor-intensive tasks quickly and efficiently that would otherwise take a lot of time and money. They can also keep an eye on a variety of important indicators and quality of production. Investing in technology can reduce labor inputs while increasing yields and lowering costs. The system automates tasks on farms of all sizes. Given the importance of cow feed to cow health, this research suggests a robot model for cleaning cow feeders. Routine cleaning disposes of hazardous items that remain after feeding. After feeding, moist feed starts to deteriorate if the feeder is not cleaned. The cows eat both the fresh feed and the leftovers from their last meal. To eliminate the need for a human to perform this task, the suggested robot may be programmed to go through and clean the feeders at prearranged intervals. The health of the cows will benefit from this as the feeders will remain consistently clean.
