- during a feed delivering session, moving the feed vehicle along a row (21) of cages (20) and for each cage:
- determining the amount of feed leftover on the cage by means of an electronic detector (26), such as 3D camera or 3D scanner arranged on the feeding vehicle,
- storing the amount of feed leftover on the cage in a database,
- determining an individually metered amount of feed based on a) a planned amount of feed to be delivered to the given cage according to a feeding scheme, b) the determined amount of feed leftover on the cage, i.e. not eaten, and c) a determined and stored amount of feed leftover on the cage, i.e. not eaten, during at least an immediately previous feed delivering session, and
