    l DK 2019 00909 A1ANIMAL FEEDING HOUSE
    TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention disclosed herein generally relates to a house. More particularly, the present invention relates to a feeding house for animals and livestock such as horses, cattle, and other animals to feed food such as grass hay, grains or pelletized food.
    BACKGROUND Animals and livestock such as horses, cattle, and other animals require attention from people for optimal health and long life and require a shelter for protection from the outside environment, for example, winds and precipitation. For example, horses require to access fresh water at all the time in a day and adequate food, such as forage, grass hay — at regular intervals of time in the day. Grass hay could be long-stemmed in hay bales or come bagged in cubes or pellets. Many people/owners feed grass hay or a combination of grass to their horses. The grass hay has been cut and dried to be stored for use as animal food, particularly for large grazing animals raised as livestock, such as horses, cattle, goats, and sheep. The large grass hales are transported using trailers. Currently, the farmers are using wheelbarrows for carrying food, for example, grass hay, from the storage station and feeding animals in the field. However, the hay is very sensitive to weather conditions. The long-stemmed in hay bales could be damaged due to sun exposure, winds, moisture, and rain during various seasons. In addition, barns and conventional livestock shelters to be effective must serve a variety of uses. The conventional barns and shelters are used for storing hay bales and feeding the livestock. However, the conventional barns and shelters could require different configurations and are cost-effective. The conventional open shelters and beef lots lead to decreased feed efficiency, lower weight-gains, disease development, and higher death loss. In addition, the conventional systems are more labor-intensive,
    DK 2019 00909 A1 because it requires maintenance and cleans the beef lots every day to maintain and keep the food dry.
    In addition, in the care and feeding of livestock such as horses, cows, or other animals, it is known to provide permanent feeders and permanent shelters for the livestock at various locations on the farm. The conventional permanent feeders and/or shelters are generally located near the barn. However, the conventional permanent feeders and/or shelters are expensive and not suitable for feeding livestock, for example, horses. The farmer/feeder could feel difficult to access and keep the hay bales within the — shelters and difficult to maintain the shelters clean. The conventional permanent feeders and/or shelters could not withstand different weather conditions. Further, the farmers could not monitor the livestock, for example, horses during feeding in the conventional shelters to pay special attention. It is important to know how to feed the livestock, for example, horse and to make sure it gets all the nutrients it needs.
    In the light of above-mentioned problems, it is desirable to provide an animal feeding house for protecting the hay bales from sun exposure, winds, moisture, and rain during various seasons. There is also a need to provide an inexpensive animal feeding house configured to easily access by the farmer/feeder for accessing and storing grass hay bales to efficiently feed the livestock, for example, horses. There is also a need to provide an animal feeding house that requires less maintenance and can withstand different weather conditions. Further, there is also a need to provide an animal feeding house that enables the farmer/feeder to monitor the livestock, for example, horses during feeding to pay special attention.
