The old-fashioned method of physically feeding cattle takes time. Before feeding the animals along the side of
the feed fence, the autonomous cow feeding system employed in this research travels a predefined path for a specified
amount of time. The feed mechanism is operated over a predetermined time period by the prototype using an Arduino
circuit. Considering that more than 40 percent of total work time is devoted to this activity, feeding constitutes one of the
higher expenditures for farm owners in addition to being directly tied to the production of the cattle. Due to the lack of
technological utilization, the dairy business has a significant Labor need. These labors are particularly expensive for the
owner of the dairy farm since they are only required for 3 hours each morning and three hours in the evening, but they
must be paid for the entire day. Hence, an automatic cow feeding equipment has been created to decrease the owner effort
and expense. In this research we use two barrels to store the cattle food and a sensor is placed to open the barrel opening
to fill the food in the collector in which the cattle eat their food. This process is done for period like morning once and
evening once.
