Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for monitoring and/or controlling the resource consumption of an agricultural plant for livestock farming and rearing, in particular of a livestock production business. The method according to the invention comprises the following steps: determining agriculture-specific operating parameters of the agricultural plant in a current time interval, wherein the operating parameters contain information on the animal population, structure, and climate determining a resource consumption of at least one consumer least one resource type of the agricultural plant in the current time interval by means of at least one metering device, determining the resource consumption per one or more of the operating parameters, and outputting a signal comprising the resource consumption per one or more of the operating parameters.

Abstract: In a device for providing food to animals, comprising a feed supply and a bowl-like feeding basin serving for providing the supplied feed, the feeding basin comprising in about the center of the basin a cleaning opening that can be opened and closed by means of a closing element. The closing element is a part of the feeding basin that is placed in the cleaning opening in a flush or fitted manner, whereby both the closing element on its periphery and the feeding basin in the area of the edge compromise locking means which can be mutually actively engaged. The closing element can be fixed on or released from the feeding basin by means of said locking means both in the releasing and closing positions.

Abstract: A sitting pole for poultry having a surface designed substantially straight on an incline, forcing the poultry perching on the sitting pole to sit in a defined alignment. The inclined plane is set at an angle of approximately 35°. The surface has a U-shaped profile with a U-base forming the inclined plane. U-legs are provided and are bent off from the U-base. The U-base can be formed by two surface sections that are set at different angles from each other.
