System to monitor and control supplement intake

BACKGROUND The United States is home to around 87.2 million cattle, with over 700,000 cattle farms. Most ranchers utilize liquid feed for their cattle, which is commercially available and widely used. As the number of cattle per farm continues to grow, it becomes more difficult to monitor feed consumption for each individual cow. Traditionally, cattle...
