Abstract: A method for automatic control of breeding of free-range animals is disclosed, wherein the feed consumed by each individual animal is uniquely identified and registered to enable full traceability between animals or products and the feed. In particular, the present method comprise active and automatic control of the living conditions of the animals based on the monitored and recorded data so that a minimal amount of human interaction is required in the normal operation of a breeding system controlled by use of the method. The invention further relates to a controlled system, typically comprising a general-purpose computer having a suitable computer program installed thereon, for controlling the operation of a breeding system according to the present method.

Abstract: An arrangement for feeding of animals, in particular pigs and sows, kept in a free-range herd, comprises a carrousel divided into a number of feeding enclosures so that a large number of animals may be automatically and individually fed. A common inlet with a registration system leads to the feeding enclosures of the carrousel. The animals are identified, weighed and may optionally have the temperature, the thickness of the fat layer and an image recorded. All data are stored in a computer system controlling the operation of the arrangement, including separation of animals from the herd. The computer system optionally being connected to a remote, central computer for surveillance of its operation and of the individual animal.
