The Geitenbelang CombiFort feed system is based on a dosing unit with 8 feed boxes. The size of one feed box is 45 x 170 cm. Each feed box has a movable tumbler with feed opening. When a goat steps into the feed box, it inserts its head through the feed opening. It pushes the tumbler forward to get to the food bowl, and therefore the food with it. With this movement, it closes its own feed box behind itself, with 2 doors that are connected to the tumbler. Each feed box has an antenna by which the goat is recognised. After about half a minute, food drops into the feed bowl. After a set eating time, the goat is pushed out of the feed box. Another goat may enter the feed box. The feed is transported from the dosing unit to any feed box by means of a feed chain. 

If a goat is not entitled to a portion, for example because it came back too soon after its previous rewarded visit, it will be pushed out of the feed box again, so that it does not unnecessarily occupy the feed box. This increases the capacity of the feeding system. This is thus an unrewarded visit (zero visit).

For each rewarded visit, the amount of concentrate to be supplied per type of feed is determined by weighing. This is the most accurate dosing method. By weighing, all types of concentrates and concentrate analogues can be supplied without having to calibrate the feed dosage every time.
