3.5.4.3 Destination feeding
Destination valve run-
time
Setting the time it takes the valve at the destination to switch between open and
closed.
Destination pause time
Setting the time the cross auger is running between weighing processes to the indi-
vidual destinations. This will empty the auger, ensuring a brief pause when switch-
ing between the destinations.
Destination mode
Choose between:
- Daily target:
Fixed amount of feed per destination (kg)
- Feeding via reference curve
Grams per animals according to curve (males/females) (variable total amount of
feed)
- Daily target/animal:
Fixed amount per animal (grams) (variable total amount of feed)
Feed type selection
Selection of feed type is made either for each animal type or for each destination.
Per destination:
Selection of feed type for each destination (in the menu
Filling | Destina-
tions
).
Per animal type:
Selection of feed type for each animal type (in the menu
Filling |Feed type
selection
). Select this option if all animals of the same gender shall have the same
feed).
Destinations limited
If during feeding the animals need more feed than the destinations can house, it will
be necessary for the system to carry out refilling. A single refill can be made.
Destinations setup
Selection of animal type (females/males) and setup of afterrun.
For regulation according to reference curve or daily target per animal, also a relative
target (%) must also be set.
