Early use of concentrate
feed speeds growth of the young calves and replaces milk, which is
the most expensive feed, sooner. The concentrate feeding system
DairyFeed J 1000 is thus the ideal expansion to GEA Farm
Technologies calf feeders. It ensures in conjunction with the
DairyManagementSystem 21 an exact calf-matched allocation of
concentrate and optimized metering. Food allocation from the 110
litres capacity concentrate feed vessel is via an exact volume
doser.
A light sensor controls and
regulates the food quantity and ensures that refilling only takes
place after complete emptying of the stainless steel pan.
Irregularities in food intake are quickly recognized, thus ensuring
that the likelihood of infection within the herd is lowered. In
this way concentrate feed intake can also be used to control liquid
feed supply.
