Abstract: A feeding system for feeding animals, in particular cows, includes a feed storage system for keeping feed for the animals in store, and a feed loading device for loading a batch of feed from the feed storage system into a receptacle of an autonomous feeding device in order to teed the animals. The feed loading device is provided with a feed grabber including two grab buckets which are hingeable between an open position and a closed position. The feed grabber includes an actuation device for actuating the grab buckets from the open position to the closed position. The actuation device includes a rotatably drivable winding-up body which is connected to one of the grab buckets and includes a winding circumference, and an arm which is connected between the winding-up body and the other grab bucket. The arm includes a plurality of mutually, hingeably connected arm sections which are made from stainless steel or a material having substantially the same strength and corrosion-resistant properties as stainless steel. The arm sections, in the open position of the grab buckets, extend substantially in line with one another. The arm sections, from the open position of the grab buckets, when the winding-up body is rotatably driven, are wound about the winding circumference of the winding-up body in order to pull the grab buckets towards the closed position. The arm sections are configured in such a way that the winding circumference of the winding-up body can be covered substantially in its entirety by at most 8 arm sections, preferably at most 6 arm sections, in particular 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 arm sections.

Abstract: Device for use in an agricultural livestock feed gripping jaw, including a drivable cable and a frame with a guide element, in particular a winding drum or a disc which is rotatable in the frame, around which guide element said cable is passed in such a way that when the cable is driven, the cable is guided over the guide element, wherein the cable comprises a core and a sheath, wherein the core comprises a plurality of first strands of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethene fibres, in particular Dyneema® or an equivalent thereof, and includes a plurality of second strands of fibres of a polyester which are interwoven with the former, wherein the sheath includes a combination of a plurality of interwoven strands, containing 75-100% of third strands of fibres of extended polyamide, in particular Nylon 6,6, and 0-25% of fourth strands of fibres of polyester, and wherein the guide element, at least on the outer side thereof, inlcudes ultrahigh molecular weight polyethene, in particular HMPE 1000. This combination of measures makes a compact and reliable construction possible which is less affected by mechanical and in particular chemical wear when used with livestock feed.
