80 Transmitter and animal management
7.2.2 Automatically registering animals
If an animal that is not yet registered enters the feeding station for the first time, it can then be
automatically registered. For automatic registration, three different modes can be set which are
described in detail in the following three sub-sections. The following table presents an overview
of this.
Overview of the three modes for automatic registration
7.2.2.1 Deactivating automatic registration
Automatic registration is deactivated by default. You can restore this setting at any time.
You deactivate automatic registration as follows:
1. Navigate via > Animal management > Registration to the Automatic sub-menu.
2. Select Mode no and confirm by choosing . Automatic registration is then deactivated.
Note: When the registration function is deactivated, the unknown transmitters warning
will be triggered if an unregistered calf enters a station.
7.2.2.2 Register available transmitters only automatically
Automatic registration shortens the registration process for the calves. When doing this, you
can specify that only calves whose transmitter numbers are already in the system can be reg-
istered. If an available transmitter number is registered in the identification unit, the correspond-
ing calf will be registered automatically. Calves or transmitter numbers that have not yet been
created in the system will trigger the Unknown transmitter number warning.
Proceed as follows to set up automatic registration of available transmitters:
1. Navigate via > Animal management > Registration to the Automatic sub-menu.
2. In Mode select the available option.
3. In Group, choose the group in which you want to automatically register the calves.
Note: The registration of calves that are to be removed should only be canceled after they
have left the bay, as they will otherwise automatically be re-registered when they enter the
station and will then be returned to the start of the feeding plan.
