Product Overview The Autonomous Unmanned TMR Feeding Vehicle is an intelligent electric livestock feeding solution designed for modern dairy farms, beef cattle farms, goat-farming-equipment/" target="_blank" class="keylink">sheep farms and large-scale livestock projects.

The vehicle combines TMR transportation, autonomous navigation, scheduled feeding, quantitative ration distribution and digital management in one mobile platform. Prepared Total Mixed Ration can be transported from a centralized feed kitchen or stationary mixer to designated livestock groups with minimal operator intervention.

Track-free intelligent navigation makes the system suitable for new livestock buildings as well as automation upgrades in existing steel-structure cattle barns.
Key Features
  • Autonomous Navigation: Intelligent positioning supports automatic travel through farm roads and livestock feed alleys.
  • Track-Free Operation: Compatible configurations can operate without permanently embedded magnetic strips or fixed guide rails.
  • Automatic Route Planning: Feeding routes can be configured according to barn layout and livestock groups.
  • Obstacle Avoidance: Multi-sensor detection supports automatic deceleration and stopping when animals, workers or equipment enter the travel path.
  • Pure-Electric Drive: Battery-powered operation provides low noise and zero exhaust emissions at the point of use.
  • Quantitative Distribution: Controlled belt discharge supports consistent ration delivery along the feed bunk.
  • Unmanned & Manual Modes: Dual-mode operation provides flexibility during normal feeding, maintenance and commissioning.
  • Remote Management: Compatible control systems support remote start/stop, scheduling and real-time machine-status monitoring.
  • Flexible Configuration: Hopper capacity, discharge arrangement and navigation functions can be customized according to project requirements.

Working Principle Feed Loading: Prepared TMR is loaded from a stationary mixer, feed kitchen or other ration-preparation system into the vehicle hopper.

Task Scheduling: Feeding time, route, destination livestock group and distribution parameters are assigned through the control system.

Autonomous Navigation: The vehicle identifies its position and follows the programmed route using intelligent navigation technology.

Obstacle Detection: Safety sensors continuously monitor the operating environment and can command the vehicle to slow or stop when an obstacle is detected.

Feed Conveying: A scraper-chain system moves TMR toward the discharge section.

Feed Distribution: The belt conveyor delivers ration along the feed bunk according to the selected discharge direction and operating parameters.

Task Completion: After distribution, the vehicle can return to the designated loading, parking or charging area according to system configuration.

Installation & Maintenance Before commissioning, confirm feed-alley width, doorway clearance, turning space, floor condition, loading position, parking area and charging location.

The autonomous navigation map and feeding routes should be configured according to the actual livestock-building layout. Emergency-stop devices and obstacle-detection functions should be tested before unmanned operation.

Routine maintenance includes inspection of batteries, electrical connectors, LiDAR sensors, drive components, hydraulic brakes, scraper chains, discharge belts and communication equipment. Feed residues should be removed regularly to maintain hygiene and reliable operation.
Project Cases Autonomous TMR feeding vehicles can be integrated with stationary mixers and centralized feed kitchens to create a coordinated workflow from ration preparation to livestock-barn distribution.

Project planning should consider herd size, daily TMR volume, feeding frequency, number of animal groups, route length, feed-alley dimensions and charging requirements.
Product FAQ Q: Can the vehicle operate without a driver?
A: Yes. Compatible configurations support autonomous operation as well as manual driving.

Q: Does it require fixed guide rails?
A: Track-free navigation configurations can operate without fixed floor rails.

Q: Can it detect livestock and workers?
A: Obstacle-detection systems can identify objects in the travel path and trigger appropriate safety responses.

Q: Can feeding tasks be scheduled remotely?
A: Yes. Compatible control systems support remote scheduling, start/stop control and operating-status monitoring.

Q: Can the discharge system be customized?
A: Yes. Discharge direction and discharge height can be configured according to project requirements.

Q: Is the vehicle suitable for existing cattle barns?
A: Yes. The system can be designed according to existing feed-alley dimensions, barn layout and operating conditions.
