Summary: | A method of feeding a group of animals at a feeding location includes automatically determining an expected feed demand for the group of animals to be fed using a computer; automatically harvesting feed crop in a crop field using an autonomous, unmanned device; automatically loading the harvested feed crop into a storage space provided on the autonomous, unmanned device; automatically transporting the feed crop from the crop field to the feeding location by means of the autonomous, unmanned device; and automatically dosing harvested feed from the storage space of the autonomous; unmanned device to the animals at the feeding location. A completely automated method for determining a feed demand and then harvesting, transporting and dosing the harvested feed to the animals is thus realized. A system for performing the method of feeding a group of animals at a feeding location is also disclosed. |
