1. > animal management > transmitter > information
2. An overview of the transmitters entered into the system is dis-
played. The displayed Iist contains the following:
•
the amount of registered transmitters resp. animals,
•
the amount of available transmitters,
•
how many further transmitters can be entered.
7.2 Registering the animals
The animals are fed by the automatic feeder only if they are reg-
istered there. You can register each individual animal manually
or automatically. In the latter case, the animal is registered as
soon as it acceeds the feeding station for the first time. Thereby,
the manual registration of the animals becomes unnecessary.
At registration the animal is allocated to one of the four groups
A, B, C or D, thus being fed according to the feed, concentration
and milk ratio plans of the corresponding group. Group allocation
has also an effect on e.g. additive dispense or the alarm levels.
To which group the animals should be allocated solely depends
on the feed quantity, the feed concentration and the milk ratio
Note : If no electronic tags are used, the default setting
no should remain unchanged.
