Running the automatic feeder

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

9.1.3

If you deviate from the default concentration plan, a calf could receive an insuffi-

cient concentration of feed. This can lead to malnutrition, which causes impaired growth and

development, increased susceptibility to illness or even the death of your calves. Ensure that

the changes will not having any harmful effects, for example by rigorously monitoring your

calves.

Calves that receive only milk or milk substitute must be registered in different feeding groups

because there is only one default concentration plan per group.
