Feed Types and Rations
The farmer and his feed advisor are responsible for a balanced feed ration for the cows.
The risk of poor feed choices can lead to less robot visits and general malnutrition of the cows.
Always keep a close eye on the herd and their visiting behaviour. In case of problems or
for improving the feed ration, contact your nutritionist or Lely Farm Management
Support.
Demixing of Feed and Variation in Particle Size
Different sizes of feed particles can lead to segregation or demixing. Larger light particles have the
tendency to stay on top while smaller heavy particles will lower down in the silo.
To examine if the feed is demixing in the silo, frequent calibration of the Commodity
Feed Hopper is recommended
Feed Presence Sensor Calibration
If the robot unit is provided with a feed presence sensor (FPS), the farmer needs to calibrate the FPS
after:
• Replacing the (regularly) feed hopper for the commodity feed hopper.
• Switching between different feed types.
To calibrate the feed presence sensor, See Calibrate the Feed Presence Sensor on page 5-8.
