Extract

Engineers attempt to meet the requirements specified by biologists when designing machines. With mechanized feeding systems the engineer interacts with the biologist in two main areas:-

a) In attempting to minimize forage losses and in maintaining quality during storage.

b) By exercising control over the physical form, quantity and mixture of forages presented to the animal.
