WHAT TO DO BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEXT
BATCH OF BIRDS
?
Check operation of your system before placing the birds.
More particularly, take care that :
- all feed level tubes are at the same level (always keep
feed level as low as possible)
- allswitchesreactpromptly the controlpansareproperly
adjusted (low feed level).
- the poultry perch wire is still stretched (springs must be
stretched (about 6cm )
- the time clock (when used) is programmed
- there are no leaks in the feed supply system
- there is no old, stale and/or tainted feed in the bin
- the feeder lines are well aligned. Especially the power
unit and the hopper must be well aligned and at the
same level.
PROGRAMMED FEEDING
With the feeding system it is possible to programme
feeding. This means : feeding according to a programme
set on a time-clock.
It also means : to make sure that no feed is supplied
during certain periods.
Pans are emptied between meals (if you want this).
ADVANTAGES :
- 0 to 4 points better feed conversion :
- birds waste less feed (lower feed level).
- fresh feed available at several preset times = more
resting periods ; a better digestion ; more appetite.
- you can observe birds better during the feeding
time Sick birds are more easily identified.
- thesystem works moreregularly(less switchingon/off).
- less risk that the system runs empty. You have better
control of the system's performance.
HOW TO PROGRAMME :
There are many ways.
Your house, the breed of birds, the feed you choose and
the possibilities you have as a user, determine the best
programme.
The purpose is always the same : divide the 24 hour
period in 4 segments of 6 hours.

FIGURE 6.
Our experiences have lead to the following
recommendations of use :
- Set the programme right from the beginning .
- See that pans are emptied for the first time after 3
weeks, not sooner. Divide the 24 h in 4 segments of 6
hours.
- Since the birds do not eat for 1/2 hour to 2 hours, there
is more activity at the start of a new segment. This
means that the occupation per pan and per drinker
should not exceed our recommendations.
- You have to gain experience. Do not expect to obtain
4 points better feed conversion from the first time.
- During the summer it might get colder in the house
during the night. Adjust your programme by having the
system operate longer during the night segment.
- Do not programme with poor quality birds. Interrupt the
programme in case of illness and do not let the system
become empty.
- Influences of season, breed, age, house climate, feed
also play a role.
To get the maximum profit out of your system, you should
develop your own programme according to the
circumstances.
