Feeding cycles 

Feed is mixed, weighed, transported and supplied during the feeding cycles. A feeding cycle is a period of time 
within which the animals at a certain feed place are fed. The start time per feeding cycle applies to all control 
computer-controlled feed places.

Overview feed cycles 

Enter the required feeding cycles per feed curve. The control computer divides the amount to be fed among these 
feeding cycles every day. 

 

Enter the feeding cycles in chronological order. The feeding cycles are shown in the time bar at the 
bottom of the screen. The current time is indicated by a vertical dotted line. Feeding cycles cannot 
overlap.
