Abstract
A feed-supplying system includes a feeder and a scale. The feeder includes a bin, a valve module and a monitoring module. The monitoring module controls the valve module to open an outlet of the bin to allow the feeder to supply feed, measures a vertical inside-bin distance, and outputs a notification when it is determined that an amount of stored feed is less than a threshold based on the distance. The scale supports the supplied feed, senses weight of a load thereon. When it is determined that an amount of the supplied feed has reached a threshold based on the weight, the monitoring module controls the valve module to close the outlet so as to stop the supply of the feed.
