II. Core Product System

1. System Overview & Working Principle

The system works on a closed-loop plug tray conveying principle:

Feed is stored in weatherproof FRP/galvanized silos.
The plug tray host drives a high-strength plastic chain with nylon plugs, moving feed through enclosed pipelines.
Feed is dispensed via adjustable drop feeders to troughs or feeders at preset times and quantities.
The control box manages feeding schedules, line speed, and alerts, while optional load cells provide real-time inventory data.

2. Key System Components

4. Core Advantages

✅ Labor Cost Reduction: Eliminates manual feeding, reducing labor needs by 70%+ and freeing staff for other farm tasks.

✅ Precision Feeding: Adjustable feeding times, frequencies, and portions to match animal growth stages, improving feed conversion ratio (FCR) by 5-8%.

✅ Biosecurity & Hygiene: Fully enclosed pipeline prevents feed contact with the external environment, reducing contamination risks from pests, birds, and pathogens.

✅ Animal Welfare: Stress-free, uniform feeding reduces competition and aggression among animals, improving growth rates and uniformity.

✅ Low Maintenance: Durable components and modular design ensure long service life, with minimal cleaning and upkeep required.
