Transmitter and animal management 101
5. Enter the representative animal weight of all the animals to be
registered. The weight gain is automatically calculated.
7.2.2.3 Entering the transmitter numbers and registering the ani-
mals automatically
To shorten the automatic registration process further, you can
determine that also those animals whose animal numbers (more
precisely: the allocated transmitter numbers) are not known by
the system, are registered. By doing so, the read-in process or
the manual input of the transmitter numbers becomes unneces-
sary. If an unknown transmitter number is identified by the
antenna, it is automatically entered into the system together with
a new animal number and at the same time registered.
Note: The weight and weight gain are displayed only if
an additive dispenser has been activated in Setup or
if at least a feeding or concentrate station is equipped
with an animal scales. The indication of weight is
important if you decide to dose the additives depending
on animal’s weight.
Note: Remove the animals, that should be weaned,
from the pen before you cancel them, otherwise they are
automatically registered again when accessing the feed-
ing station, thus being set to the beginning of the feeding
plan.
Note: When initially entering the transmitter or animal
numbers, the animal number is either a continuous num-
ber or it is part of the transmitter number (see 7.1.3 Allo-
cating the animal numbers, page 94 ). Check whether
this kind of number allocation actually meets your ex-
pectations.
