Unhygienic cow barns do contribute to the tendency of the cows getting infected by Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD). Farms that are prone to flies, ticks and lice are risky for the cows because they might be infected, since we do not know which flies or ticks are bringing the LSD disease. Even though this disease is not pandemic or seldom spread, it is still important to keep the cows healthy as they are the key in cattle industries, where human consume their meats, milks, and etcetera. Nobody wants to consume sick cows’ products, so that is why cows’ health is significant. Little by little efforts are being done to cure the cows, but for this project, it is to prevent any future spread of the LSD among cows, that is why the Automatic Feeder for Cows is being fabricated even though it started from fabricating the prototype first. The prototype of this project has been successfully fabricate. It has an element which will automatically release the food when needed only, and has covers to protect the foods from flies and ticks. The prototype is able to release the food automatically when the operator needs to feed the cows.
