6. In the
to (P 1)
column, you enter the final value for the feeding quantity. You can select
values from 0.1 to 25.5 liters in 0.1 liter increments. The default setting is 6 liters.
7. If necessary, repeat steps 4 to 6 for
P 2
to
P 5
.
8. In
Duration
, you can check the total duration of the feeding plan.
9. In
Quantity
, you can check the total feed quantity that a calf will receive according to this
plan.
6.5.6.2 Changing the default concentration plan
There is a concentration plan for every feeding plan. Just like the feeding plan, the concentra-
tion plan can be divided into 5 periods. The default setting is one period,
P 1
. The period length
of the quantity plans is, however, not bound to the period length of the feeding plans.
For example, if you want to keep the feed concentration the same for all feeding periods, in
P 1
in the
Days
column, you can enter the same number that is specified for the total number
of feeding days in the
Duration
menu item.
The default milk substitute concentration is
150 g/l
. Periods
P 2
to
P 5
are not activated by
default.
Note:
Many milk powder manufacturers recommend the
MP concentration
(MP = milk sub-
stitute)
per liter of feed
on their packing drums. However, the program of the automatic feeder
requires you to enter the
MP concentration per liter of water
. To make this conversion eas-
ier, use the following conversion table, which is also included in the appendix (see chapter
Milk powder conversion table (MP), page
).
