Precision feeding relies on real‑time monitoring of feed remaining in pans. Load cells or infrared sensors placed under each pan continuously measure feed weight or fill height. When the measured level drops below a preset threshold, the controller activates the auger or chain feeder to deliver a small, measured amount of feed.
This closed‑loop mechanism prevents overfilling, which causes spillage and spoilage, and avoids underfilling, which limits bird intake. By matching feed delivery to actual consumption patterns, the system maintains pans at an optimal level (30–50% full) throughout the day.
Compared to timer‑only systems, sensor‑based adjustment reduces feed waste by an additional 3–5% and improves flock uniformity. It also reduces labor for manual checks. The mechanism is particularly effective for broilers, as feed intake rises sharply during growth spurts. Real‑time adaptation ensures birds always have fresh feed without excess accumulation.

The Hidden Cost of Feed Waste: A Quantitative Analysis of Spillage, Spoilage, and Feed Refusal
Feed waste represents a major economic loss in broiler production. Three primary sources account for most waste: spillage, spoilage, and feed refusal. Spillage occurs during transport, loading, and at the feeder due to overfilling or bird activity. Typical losses range from 3–5% of total feed. Spoilage results from moisture in litter or humidity, causing mold…
