Hygiene
Proper cleaning is an important way of ensuring hygienic conditions and also prevents
infections.
If the automatic feeder is not cleaned or is cleaned improperly, germs, which are abundant in
the environment, can enter the nutrient-rich feed and multiply. When they drink the feed,
calves can become infected, sick and even die.
Proper cleaning of the automatic feeder reduces the number of germs and therefore the risk
of infection.
The Cleaning (see chapter
Cleaning the automatic feeder, page
) chapter explains how
to clean the automatic feeder properly. The appendix contains a table of suggestions for clean-
ing the different parts of the automatic feeder (see chapter
).
