6.3 Drops’ Feed Distribution Options
Select
4. Drop settings
• Select a drop
The following parameters are associ-
ated with the chosen drop and must
be set separately for each drop in use.
• # of animals
This menu shows the number of
animals that are being served by the
selected drop. The value is displayed
as a reading and cannot be modified.
Refer to section 8.1 to monitor the
number of animals per drop.
• Animal Age
Set the age of the animals that are
being served by the selected drop.
The animal age is automatically in-
creased every day at the Time of reset.
• Dosage (/day/animal)
Enter the daily amount of feed to be distributed per animal for the selected
drop. Adjustable from 0 to 30,000 g (0.00 to 66.14 lbs) or to decrease the
dosage until you reach the Ad Lib option (the Ad Lib distribution method
ensures a refill of all empty drops on each cycle. A drop is considered as being
empty when no feed is detected by its proximity sensor(s)).
* This menu is only available if the blend curve and the “Continuous Feeding” option are disabled in the
installation setup (s. 5.3). If a curve is used, the dosage is set separately for each point of the curve (s. 6.1.2).
* The AdLib function is available if proximity sensors are located in the holding hopper of the drops (s. 5.8)
and if the blend curves are disabled in the installation setup (s. 5.3).
If a daily dosage is specified, the controller splits this dosage evenly
between each feed cycle of the day. Make sure the amount of feed
that is sent during a cycle does not exceed the drop’s capacity.
• Blend
Select which feed blend is distributed to the selected drop.
* Available if blends are enabled and if blend curves are disabled in the installation setup (s. 5.3).
