    Abstract: Feed-mixing device comprising a container with a side wall (3) having a dispensing opening (7) which can be closed off with a slide (6), in front of which a removing device (9) is placed which, for example, comprises a roller (10) with teeth (11). When the roller (10) rotates, the teeth (11) extend inside the side wall (3). On a first peripheral section (a) of the roller, the teeth (11) are placed in such a manner that they do not extend inside the side wall. Thus, the slide (6) can be positioned in such a manner that it runs in a fluent and continuous manner with respect to the side wall (3), while the assembly still forms a compact arrangement.

    Abstract: Livestock feed wagon (1), comprising a moving frame (2), a feed container (3) which is fitted on the frame for accommodating animal feed (7), in particular provided with feed-mixing means (16), a movable arm construction (4) having an operable gripper (5) fitted thereto for grabbing an amount of animal feed (6), wherein the arm construction is configured in such a way that the arm construction can pivot the gripper only in one plane from a first position for grabbing animal feed next to the livestock feed wagon to a second position for releasing the animal feed above the feed container. This makes it possible to provide a very simple and compact construction.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of feeding a group of animals (13) at a feeding location (11) comprising the following steps: a) automatically determining an expected feed demand for the group of animals (13) to be fed using a computer; b) automatically harvesting feed crop (14) in a crop field (9) using an autonomous, unmanned device (1); c) automatically loading the harvested feed crop (14) into a storage space (6) provided on the autonomous, unmanned device (1); d) automatically transporting the feed crop (14) from the crop field (9) to the feeding location (11) by means of the autonomous, unmanned device (1); e) automatically dosing harvested feed (14) from the storage space (6) of the autonomous, unmanned device (1) to the animals (13) at the feeding location (11). A completely automated method for determining a feed demand and then harvesting, transporting and dosing the harvested feed (14) to the animals (13) is thus realized. The invention further relates to a system for performing the method of feeding a group of animals (13) at a feeding location (11).
