UK & Ireland Automatic Feeding Systems Market Overview
The UK & Ireland Automatic Feeding Systems Market is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period 2024-2031
Automatic feeding systems utilize the existing PLC techniques and controllers to improvise the manual feeding techniques through minimal human interaction and proper mixing of the feed ratio.
The benefits of utilizing automatic feeding systems over manual systems include providing the proper supply of total mixed ration with high frequency and minimal labor requirements.
Adopting automated or self-propelled animal feeding systems in cattle or sheep farms has resulted in increased production capacity, reduced labor costs, capital cost, and improved sanitary control across the farm.
Increased installation of automated and self-propelled feed systems across the major livestock in the UK and Ireland is a major factor driving the automatic feeding market during the forecast period.
Increasing labor shortages and increased investment activities by farmers across the UK & Ireland to boost productivity are expected to boost the automated feeding systems market's market during the forecast period.
The high presence of advanced automation companies and increased awareness among the livestock growers through expos contribute to the growth of the UK & Ireland automatic feeding systems market during the forecast period.
Additionally, the presence of large average herd size and high capital cost through manual feeding techniques and labor is predicted to boost the utilization of automated feeding systems in farms across the UK & Ireland during the forecast period.

UK & Ireland Automatic Feeding Systems Market Dynamics
Increasing adoption of advanced smart farming and grazing machinery to maintain the huge animal herd in farms across the UK and Ireland are the major factor driving the automatic feeding systems market during the forecast period.
- According to the study published in Agriculture and Horticulture Board, the UK's milking herd increased from 1.841 million heads in 2014 to 1.883 in 2018.
Increased labor shortages and availability of smart farming technologies at affordable pricing led to increased utilization of automatic feeding systems among the farmers in the UK & Ireland during the forecast period.
Increased labor shortage can be attributed due to a decline in the overall population in the European region. Most countries in the region have experienced shrinking populations over the past 15 years.
Additionally, the presence of large average herd size and high capital cost through manual feeding techniques and labor is predicted to boost the utilization of automated feeding systems in farms across Europe during the forecast period.
- According to the study published in Agriculture and Horticulture Board, the UK, the UK's average dairy herd increased from 143 heads in 2017 to 148 heads in 2018.
UK & Ireland Automatic Feeding Systems Market Segmentation Analysis
By Product
The Self-Propelled Systems segment of the UK & Ireland Automatic Feeding Systems Market is valued at US$ XX Million in 2019. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period to reach US$ XX Million by 2027.
The collective revenue of the Self-Propelled Systems segment is expected to generate US$ XX Million during 2020-2027.
Self-propelled systems are expected to grow at a higher pace globally during the forecast period owing to their high efficiency and low maintenance nature over their compatriots.
The key benefits of using self-propelled systems over their compatriots include high loading capacity, ability to provide nutritional TMR, and high efficiency.
It is estimated that replacing the manual feeding system in the 720-cow herd with a self-propelled diet feeder led to increased savings of about USD 21,000/ year.
According to nutritionists, feeding cattle is a high-value task. The feeding needs to be trained and appreciate the importance of accurately following the TMR formulation.
In self-propelled systems, there is no need to shuttle several times between clamp face and feed mixer. Instead, the self-propelled machine is driven to the clamp face where the correct amount of forage can be collected by the milling head and fed onto the loading elevator to enter the mixing tub, already well-broken up and soon mixed in.
By Country
The UK segment of the automatic feeding systems market is valued at US$ XX Million in 2019. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period to reach US$ XX Million by 2027.
The collective revenue of the Europe segment is expected to generate US$ XX Million during 2020-2027.
The UK holds XX% of the market share in 2019 and is expected to be XX% by 2027, for the global automatic feeding systems market by country.
The huge presence of mega and industrial-level livestock farms and rising investment by the communities in advanced handling and maintenance machinery to decrease capital investment in daily operations is expected to boost the UK's automatic feeding systems market during the forecast period.
England is expected to dominate the UK automatic feeding systems market during the forecast period owing to the huge presence of dairy and livestock farms and the rise in spending by the farming communities in innovative handlequipmentnt's to feed the respective animals optimally with equal rations of all nutrients.
