8.3.3 Changing the milk ratio plans
The milk ratio of the feed is set in the milk ratio plan. Moreover,
here you can set the milk quantity an animal group should
receive and the duration of milk feeding for this group. As a stan-
dard one period (100 % milk) of the milk ratio plan is activated.
However, you can subdivide the milk ratio plan into up to five
periods. Either no milk (0 percent) or only milk (100 percent) or
a milk ratio between 30 and 70 percent can be selected.
Note: Those animals being fed either only with milk or only
with milk powder/water must be allocated to two different
feeding groups.
Example: If the milk ratio must remain the same for all
feeding periods, in P 1 of the milk ratio plan enter the exact
number of days which correspond to the total number of
days in the feeding plan.
Note: The duration of the periods of the milk ratio plans is
not linked with the duration of the periods of the feeding
plans. If the milk ratio plan is shorter than the feeding plan,
the end of the milk ratio plan will be displayed as a termina-
tion message. The milk ratio of the feed portions fed last is
maintained until the feeding plan has lapsed.
Default values of the milk ratio plan groups A, B, C and D
P(eriod) 1: Milk ratio = 100 %
Periods 2 to 5 are not activated as a standard.
