 Our system features a series of electronically controlled doors, each designed to accommodate a single animal equipped with a unique electronic key. This ensures that each animal accesses only its designated feed ration, enhancing the accuracy of your research. Whether you’re working with concentrates or forage rations, our feeding systems are built to handle a wide range of feed types with ease. This level of precision is essential for studies involving sorting behavior, targeted supplementation, and nutritional efficiency—especially when animals are housed in group pens but require individual data for meaningful analysis. Every unit is custom-designed to fit your facility layout, supporting seamless integration and optimal workflow.
