A patent application by the inventors Bennett, Andrew (Belmont, MA, US); Ilvonen, Arianna (Boston, MA, US), filed on July 11, 2023, was made available online on February 1, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx correspondents. This patent application has not been assigned to a company or institution. The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: "Farmers of many kinds provide food for the world's populations that is produced from farm-grown animals and plants. Separately, there are facilities around the world that keep and feed animals that are maintained in captivity (e.g., zoos), often in crowded conditions. Under the foregoing examples of captive animals (e.g., fish in ponds, pigs in pens, wildlife in large, encaged areas etc.) and of areas of plants (e.g., fields of mushrooms, fruits, and vegetables, etc.) and other similar situations, time, money, efforts, and other expenditures are necessarily spent to, among other things, feed the captive animals and the plants and to keep them healthy. Historically, much of the effort in such feedings require the manual transport of the food, medicine or fertilizer to specific feeding places at times dictated by the surroundings and the circumstances. The farmers typically try as best they can to minimize waste and to reduce the possibilities of under or overfeeding/applying, with the knowledge that there is always room for improvement. With the cost of feeding, medicine and fertilizer often be a relatively substantial expense in the care and maintenance of captive animals, there are obvious benefits with the minimization of the cost of the feeding activities.
