Each animal has to wear a collar with a Responder or an ear tag Responder in order to be
identified. The Responder has a 4--digit number imprinted on it. This number, defined as a
Responder number, is transmitted via transmitter signals from the Responder to the antenna
in the feeding station.
As the Responder number is not suitable for rapid identification of individual animals, each
animal has on its collar or in its ear additionally a large animal number that can be easily
read even from a long distance.
The system accepts animal numbers from 1 to 999. However it can manage or store only 99
animals. This means that only 99 out of 999 potential animal numbers can be assigned to
Responder numbers for animal identification.
The animal numbers can be splitted up into three categories with the following features:
Before entering the Responder numbers, all animal numbers are marked with a „--“ next to
the animal number.
Once you enter the Responder numbers, the animal numbers become available for animal
marking. Available animal numbers are marked with an „a“ next to the number.
Once you register the animals, these numbers are not available anymore until you cancel
them. The registered animal numbers are marked with a large group letter next to the animal
number (A, B, C, D).
12-- Animal number 12 has not been assigned to a Responder number.
12a Animal number 12 has been assigned to a Responder number.
Animal number 12 is available.
12A Animal number 12 has been registered in group A.
