A method automatically controls breeding of free-range animals. In this method, the feed consumed by each individual animal is uniquely identified and registered to enable full traceability between animals or products and the feed. The method comprises active and automatic control of the living conditions of the animals based on the monitored and recorded data so that a minimal amount of human interaction is required in the normal operation of a breeding system controlled by use of the method. Furthermore, a control system, typically comprising a general-purpose computer having a suitable computer program installed thereon, will control the operation of a breeding system. |
