The intensive development of agriculture contributed to the evolution of technical means for feeding dairy cattle. In order to have high profitability, it is not enough just to feed high-quality feed to animals. Modern livestock complexes need technical means to ensure their accurate dosing and modern distribution methods. The use of automated feeding systems allows to save concentrated feed, increase the efficiency of their use and reduce the risk of diseases in cows caused by metabolic disorders. Practical experience shows that if all technological methods of using various types of automated feeding systems are observed, milk yield can be increased up to 10% due to increased feed use efficiency and preservation of animal health. With a tethered method of keeping, providing each cow with the necessary amount of concentrated feed in accordance with its productivity and phase of the biological cycle is possible only with their individual differentiated distribution.
