Transmitter and animal management 79
7.1.8 Calling up the transmitter statistics
You call up a transmitter statistic as follows:
1. Navigate via > Animal management > Transmitters to the Information sub-menu.
2. An overview of the transmitters created in the system is displayed.
2.1. In the Registered menu you check the number of registered transmitters or calves.
2.2. In the Available menu you check the number of available transmitters.
2.3. In the Free menu you check how many transmitters you can still create.
7.2 Registering animals
Calves are only fed at the feeder if they are also registered there. You can either manually reg-
ister each calf or instruct the feeder to automatically register the calves. In the latter case, the
calf is registered as soon as it enters the feeding station for the first time. This means that the
manual registering of the calves is not needed.
During registration, the calf is allocated to one of four groups, A to D. The calf will then be fed
in accordance with the feed and concentration plans of this group.
The group to which you allocate the calves depends solely on the feed quantity and the con-
centration the end user wishes to dispense to the calves. In this case, it does not matter which
station the calves consume their feed in or which bay the calves have been housed in.
7.2.1 Manual registration of animals
You register animals manually as follows:
1. Navigate via > Animal management > Registration to the Animals sub-menu.
2. Select one of the available (not yet registered) animal numbers.
3. In Group, select the group to which the calf is to be allocated.
4. If you wish to reduce the total feeding duration for the calf, you can set this up under Cor-
rection days (see Feeding> Total feeding duration in the operator's manual).
5. Confirm Register? by choosing .
6. Confirm the prompt Register animal xx in group X? by choosing .
Note: On its registration day, the animal receives the exact amount of feed, spread over the
course of the day, as intended for the first day according to the feeding plan. If you have entered
correction days, the animal will receive the feed that is intended for the corresponding day.
Note: For the next manual registration, the values last set will again be shown and can be used
or changed for the current animal.
