You can use your automatic feeder for monitoring animals.

animal identification.
Choose to go to the menus for animal control. The number next to the submenus shows
the number of calves recorded in the respective menu.

in ascending order by the first column of the first parameter. This means that the calf with the
greatest need for monitoring is at the very top of the table. The following parameters can be
displayed:
•
Feed consumption
•
Drinking speed
•
Animal visits
