A big advantage of the pan is the almost complete
separation of feed and litter : fresh feed in the inner pan,
eventual litter in the outer pan.
Make sure that all feed windows open and close
simultaneously.
The suspension cords of the tubes must be stretched
correctly.
After a couple of days, when the pans sink deeper into the
litter, the feed windows remain completely open.
C. FEED WINDOWS CLOSED
After 10--14 days you can start working with closed feed
windows.
Attention: Winch up the lines until the bottoms of the pans
are about 1 cm. above the litter.
FIGURE 8.
Winch up the system as soon as the birds are used to the
lower feed level.
A good tip : check if birds still have easy access to the feed
in the inner pan and make sure that birds align around the
pans.
Now that the pans are hanging above the litter, no more
litter can get into the outer pans. As soon as you start
restriction, the hungry birds (in search for feed) will clean
the outer pan, removing litter and any dirt.
D. FEED RESTRICTION.
In broiler breeder rearing, feed restriction is often split into
two periods : moderate and severe restriction.
a. Moderately restricted birds are not extremely hungry
and their eating speed is limited.
The control panel is programmed as follows :
- Set the starting time of the feeding cycle on the
time clock (e.g. 7.30).
Important : activate enough tabs on the time clock in
order to prevent interruption of the feeding cycle (1 tab
= 10 minutes).
- Set the required amount of feed on the
preselection counter.
The preselection counter (fig. 9. page I--8) shows the total
daily ration.
To have a daily ration of e.g. 650 kg, you set 65 on a 6,5
ton weigher (each weigher impulse equals 10 kg), or 26
on a 13 ton weigher (each weigher impulse equals 25
kg).

Press the wide black key for ”ZERO” adjustment. Hold
the black button pressed while changing the settings.
b. In broiler breeder rearing, we also have a period of
severe restriction. Birds are allowed only a limited
feed intake. Before starting this period (mostly at the
age of 6--7 weeks), you must of course change your
feeding programme :
-
Reprogram the starting time of the feeding
cycle on the time clock.
- Reprogram the feed quantity on the preselection
counter.
