Researchers with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension are taking a new approach to real-time precision livestock management to optimize herd performance. “So, the Smart Feeder is a creep feeder that’s on steroids,” Tavis Mulliniks tells Brownfield.
He says the feeder is a solar powered machine that precisely monitors and controls feed diets by eliminating intake variations to help boost return on investment. “Using these technologies like this, I can be very precise how much I feed of it and how much they’re consuming,” he says.
