Running the automatic feeder
55
The group to which you allocate the calves depends solely on the feed quantity, concentration
and milk ratio that the end user wants to feed the calves. In this case, it does not matter which
box the calves consume their feed in or which pen the calves have been housed in.
If the end user houses two groups of animals, and one group will receive milk only and the
other will receive MP only, allocate these calves to different feeding groups.

correction days, then the animal will receive the feed that is intended for the respective day.
6.3.2.2 Registering animals automatically
If an animal that is not yet registered enters the feeding box for the first time, it can then be
automatically registered. With regard to automatic registration, three different modes can be
set which are described in detail in the following three subchapters. The following table pres-
ents an overview of this.
