AUTOMATIC COW FEEDING MACHINE

Acknowledgement

It is our pleasure to acknowledge a deep sense of gratitude to everyone who has made possible for us to complete this project with success.
It gives us great pleasure to express our deep gratitude to our project guide MRS R. S. Patil mam, Professor of Sinhgad College of engineering,
pune. For shearing with us her year of experience, without her kind direction and proper guidance this study would have been a little success.
In every phase of this study her supervision and rightful guidance shaped this concept to be completely perfect. During the course of this study,
it helped us carrying a lot of research and we learned so many new things we would also like to express our gratitude to PROF. A. P. PANDHARE, our
head of department and Principal Dr. S. D. Lokhande for their support and encouragement in the project work. Finally, yet importantly we would like
to thanks all staff members and all our college friends for their suggestions and support.

Abstract

Conventionally the feeding of the cattle is manual which is time consuming. In this project, an automatic cattle feeding system is introduced where food
feeder follows the path through a pre-determined distance and places the feed to the cattle by the side of the feed fence. The prototype is developed using
Arduino circuit for the operation of feed mechanism with certain time space. The motors are interfaced to operate in either direction. A rail bogie is operated
by a DC motor to feed the cattle at certain time space. This mechanism is basically controlled by pulling mechanism by winding the rope around the motor operated
shaft.
