The Serv-O-Malic Dairy Feeder enables you to feed additional grain and concentrates only to the top
producing cows in your herd! It eliminates the labor problem of separating the herd in a loose housing
system to give individual attention to lop producing animals.
The Serv-O-Malic is activated by a simple magnet fastened around the cow’s neck. This way, only the
cows you select can activate the feeder and receive additional ration ... yet all animals can still be housed
together.
Each cow producing 10 lb. or more over the herd average should receive extra feed. In actual trials, cows
on the Sen-0~ Malic consume an extra 10 lbs. of grain per day [while eating some less in the parlor]. Milk
output shows an average increase of 1 lb. of milk for each pound of concentrate fed through the Serv - 0 -
Malic . some as high as 5 lbs. of milk per pound of feed!
One Serv-O-Matic will normally handle 20-30 cows in an 80-120 cow herd. Normal procedure is to put
fresh cows on extra ration and remove the magnet when production drops to a predetermined level.
