Bei einem Verfahren zum Füttern von Tieren, insbesondere von jungen Tieren, mit einem Futtermittel, insbesondere mit Milch, wird für eine vorgegebene Zeit dem Tier eine unbegrenzte Menge an Futtermittel überwacht zur Verfügung gestellt.The method involves providing an unlimited amount of feedstuff to an animal for a predetermined time. The retrieved amount is detected and displayed to a user for an evaluation purpose, where the amount of feedstuff per session of an animal is limited. A blocking time in which the feedstuff is not available, is set. An alarm is triggered when the retrieved amount of the feedstuff is smaller than that of an expected amount according to age of the animal and that of average amount of a previous predetermined period of the same animal and when a defined amount is not retrieved to a defined time.
