TO DETERMINE THE RUNNING TIME PER DAY -Multiply the number of animals by the
feed consumption/head figures from the charts to get Total Feed Consumption.
-Divide Total Feed Consumption by the stated delivery rate of the FLEX-AUGER Feed
Delivery System to get running time per day in minutes. Divide this by 60 to get running
time per day in hours.
