Limited Quantities
10.5 Limited Quantities
The limited quantities control the assignment of milk and concentrate by the entitlement
intervals. They are based on standard values with which the automatic feeder operates.
Minimum saved quantity:
The milk quantities are continuously saved during the day according to the interval feeding
time system. By the minimum save--up quantity you can determine the number of milk por-
tions to be saved until a milk portion is dispensed. This has an indirect influence on the
number of meals.
The minimum save--up quantities may vary depending on the feeding periods, i.e. at the be-
ginning of the feeding plan, little animals can be provided with small portions, such as e.g. 4
portions à 1.5 L/day. Later on, especially in calf rearing, the feeding times should be redu-
ced to one by raising the minimum save--up quantities. The long time intervals between the
feeding times increase the consumption of concentrate and raw food considerably thus redu-
cing the tendency to mutual suckling.
The minimum save--up quantity for milk is entered per group and in liters, according to the
minimum save--up quantity--plan.
The minimum save--up quantity for concentrate is entered per group as a percentage of the
day quantity.
Example: Day quantity of animal 1A = 1.0 kg, day quantity of animal 2A = 2.0 kg. If, for
instance, the minimum save--up quantity is 10 %, animal 1A will concentrate only if the
save--up quantity is more than or equal to 100 g and animal 2A will get concentrate only if
the minimum save--up quantity is more than or equal to 200 g.
Maximum quantity:
The quantity to be claimed is limited in order to prevent excessive consumption of milk or
concentrate due to too high minimum save--up quantities. As soon as the maximum quantity
is attained, the claim is blocked for 2 hours. The saved quantities are maintained. After the
two hours have lapsed, the corresponding animal can claim the remaining quantity, but
again only the maximum quantity. The maximum quantity can be set according to the age of
the corresponding animal. By default the maximum quantity is always higher than the mini-
mum save--up quantity by 0.5 litres.
Milk: You can enter the maximum quantity for milk per group and in liters according to the
maximum quantity plan.
The maximum quantity cannot be smaller than the minimum save--up quantity.
Concentrate: You can enter the maximum quantity for concentrate per group and as a per-
centage of the day quantity.
