AUTOMATIC FEED COMPOSING DEVICE

Described is an automatic and autonomous feeding device comprising a feed kitchen having different feed varieties and a feed fetching device, and a control system for executing a feed composing cycle including receipt or generation of a feed order and controlling of the feed fetching device to fetch feed from the feed kitchen according to the feed order in order to compose a feed mixture, and comprising feed determining circuitry configured to determine quantity information of the feed varieties, wherein the control device further contains fall-back information, previously entered by a user, for at least one feed variety, which fall-back information specifies what action the feeding device, during and/or after execution of a feed composing cycle, needs to perform if the feed determining circuitry determines that that quantity of this feed variety which is desired in the feed order is greater than the available quantity.
