Livestock produce auto pickup device

If you switch focus more towards exploration/crafting and less towards livestock production rate, it is possible to come back, and find out that everyone ate all the food already, but you didn't get much benefit from their increased production rate after being fed, since you were away.
Would it be possible to implement a device that automatically picks up all animal produce in a certain range and stores it inside, which you can then check upon when you return to base that has livestock on, or when you're done crafting?
