The livestock and poultry industry is rapidly embracing automation to improve efficiency, reduce manual labor, and enhance animal welfare. By 2027, the global market for automatic feeding line is expected to exceed USD 6.8 billion (MarketsandMarkets), driven by the increasing scale of animal farming and precision agriculture.
Key features such as programmable automatic feeding cart, automatic pig feeding system modules, and smart poultry cage feeders are transforming the feeding process for both layer and broiler farms. Integrated systems enable accurate feed distribution, minimize waste, and ensure optimal nutrition — critical parameters for maximizing yield and farm profitability.
