An anrangement for feeding of animals, in particular pigs and sows, kept in a free-range herd is disclosed. The arrangement comprises a carrousel divided into a number of feeding enclosures so that a large number of animals may be individually fed automatically within a small area. The invention may in particular be applied to feeding animals that are being bred for meat production, i.e. for slaughtering, but it may also advantageously be applied to feeding of sows, cows, etc. A common inlet having common registration means leads to the feeding enclosures of the carrousel. The animals are at the inlet identified, weighted and may optionally have the temperature, the thickness of the fat layer and/or an image recorded. All data are stored in a computer system controlling the operation of the arrangement, including separation of animals from the herd. The computer system optionally being connected to a remote, central computer for surveillance of its operation and of the individual animal.

L'invention concerne un agencement permettant d'alimenter des animaux, notamment des porcs et des truies en liberté. Cet agencement comprend un carrousel divisé en un certain nombre de compartiments d'alimentation, de sorte qu'un grand nombre d'animaux peut être alimenté automatiquement, individuellement, dans une petite zone. L'invention peut s'appliquer, en particulier à des animaux nourris pour produire de la viande, c'est-à-dire pour l'abattage, mais peut également être avantageusement utilisé pour nourrir des truies, des vaches, etc. Une entrée commune possédant des moyens d'enregistrement mène aux compartiments d'alimentation du carrousel. A l'entrée, on identifie et on pèse les animaux, et éventuellement on enregistre leur température, l'épaisseur de leur couche de graisse et/ou leur photo. Toutes les données sont stockées dans un système informatique qui commande le fonctionnement de cet agencement, notamment la séparation des animaux du troupeau. Le système informatique peut éventuellement être relié à un ordinateur central à distance qui permet de surveiller le fonctionnement dudit agencement ainsi qu'un individu animal.
