If mixed in. While each of the following 25 each of the collecting containers is divided into two storage containers, the proportion of concentrate powder is divided into two, so there is the possibility of increasing this by 30 g, for example. In agricultural feed to four different age groups, large farms for the fattening or rearing of young animals with the necessary concentration of cattle with a larger number of animal stall rows, tration automatically distributed. Since the delivery in a stable area, however, it is only rarely possible to position the container system on both sides of the Fühlich to stow two animals of the same age within the latter only in the main line for each of the animals.

This is achieved in that the case, however, according to a further development of the on-container system, has at least two storage devices that can be filled with feed 40 stable device, each of the removal containers in different concentrations can be filled by the other programmers via containers, and that in the delivery position of the by the latter controllable valve or Sch'ie container system at an animal stall whose animal is beranordining from each of the storage containers fillable accessible removal container via a feed, the animals can be used regardless of the someone distributing system, for example an age group of> 5 each in the individual animal stalls assigned further program animal stalls of each animal stalls are equipped with a valve or slide arrangement that can be controlled by the encoder. This simplifies the stabling in a particularly and / or rational manner assigned to each of the storage containers.
