Since the silage is served up in big airtight blocks this means that it is slow to degrde and the cattle need fed only three times a week. The feeding passage is slightly higher than the floor of the shed were the cows are standing to make feeding easier. The passages are scraped my means of a hydralic scrapers which operates every three hours. The scrapers scrape the much out onto a platform outside were the slurry falls through and the scrapers sit until the next sraping. The scrapers both have a wing on one side which is longer than usual to scrape the wider passage at the feeding barrier.
Water is provided by means of a built trough at the end of the feeding passage.
