 Bird weighing

Only if Bird weighing is active.

  C. Settings

Average daily weight of birds.
The program automatically updates this value based upon the
averages weight of the previous period.
This daily value can be adjusted to change the average capture
weight.

Capture weight

(Range: 0gr...

42

gr...50000gr)

This screenshot is displayed whenever the 

Bird weighing

 has been activated.

C.4  Calendar

 Calendar

Xfarm

 allows to calendarize the following settings:

CLIMATE

=

 Heating, Ventilation, Exchange air.

The calendar program works in a way that allows to input data on several points (up to 10) which
represent the days of life of animals.
The curve is then automatically calculated by adjacent points by linear interpolation.

To activate the CLIMATE section of calendar  see par. C.4.2.
