It Should Be Noted That There Is No Breeding Of Young Cattle In The Research Barn. In Order To Determine The Feed Per Animal, The Roughage Distribution System Must Be Able To Distribute The Right Amount Of Feed Mixture To The Designated Feeding Place Based On The Information Obtained From Lukes Research System Or Biocontrols System. For This Reason, The Data Transmission Of The Roughage Mixing And Distribution System, Lukes Research Information System And Biocontrols Feed Consumption Measurement Equipment Must Work Together. Feeding Places Can Be Measuring Devices, Feeding Boxes Or Feeding Tables. The Feeding Tables Are Located On The Long Outer Walls Of The Research Barn.

In Addition, The Procured Wet Feed Feeder And Mineral And Additive Dosing Equipment Will Be Placed There. In Addition To The Acquisition Of A Roughage Transfer, Mixing And Distribution System, A Functional Solution Is Needed For The Transfer Of Silage Stored In Bulk Silos And Troughs To The Filling Tables Of The New Feed Kitchen. The Silage Warehouses Are Located Approximately 2–6 Km From The Feed Kitchen That Will Be Built In Connection With The New Research Barn. As The Silage Storage Facilities Are Further Away From The Research Barn, The Supplier Of The New Roughage Mixing And Distribution Equipment Must Provide A System To Transfer Whole Silage Cakes From The Silage Storage Facilities To The Research Barn
