Abstract
Automated pig feeding system is an emerging technology with the potential to considerably enhance pig farming. This study aimed to explore the benefits of automated pig feeding systems and provide a simplified cost-benefit analysis, which would serve as a valuable decision-making tool for the stakeholders. This study conducted a literature review of automated pig feeding systems and explored recent advancements. We conducted a cost-benefit analysis to assess the economic feasibility of implementing an automated feeding system in pig farming. Finally, the case study site, a pig farm in Kazakhstan, has been introduced to provide key information. The results described an automated pig feeding system suitable for a farm with 500 pigs in Kazakhstan. The case study was further enhanced using a simplified cost-benefit analysis tailored to the farm's needs and circumstances. The designed automated pig feeding system is a marked advancement that seamlessly integrates the currently available automation and management technologies. Its distinguishing feature is the inclusion of remote control capabilities and real-time data provision, which utilize modern technology to transform pig farming management.
