  • Page 6: Product Description

    Feed control SKOV's house computer can ensure the precise dosing of feed. The feed is weighed out and supplied in pan or feed chain lines. Feed can be used from up to five silos and the feed can be mixed prior to feeding. Feed and water consumption is precisely registered.

    If a function is not used, e.g. Extra sensor, it is not shown on the computer's user menus. The manual can therefore contain sections that are not relevant to the specific set-up of your computer. See also Technical Manual or, if necessary, contact SKOV A/S service or your dealer. This manual's User Guide consists of a general introduction, which describes briefly how to operate the house computer.

    User Manual SKOV A/S recommends that the Correction factor be adjusted for the current animals. This can be done by setting the Correction factor at 100 % and making frequent manual weighings during the first 1-2 batches. Correlate the weighing results with the weight reference curve and adjust the Correction factor.
