Semi-automated double sided livestock (SADSL) mix feeder

Abstract

The Semi-Automated Double-Sided Livestock (SADSL) MixFeeder is designed to automatically feed and acts as a mixer for the ingredients of the livestock. The machine provides owners of these animals the freedom to be away from their reared animals for up to a week at a time and can be confident that their animals are being fed properly. The software design for the SADSL MixFeeder utilizes custom software written in the language of the Arduino development environment to implement all the functions required to control the feeder using Arduino microcontroller-based system. The prototype for SADSL MixFeeder is designed and implemented successfully.
