The Setv-O-Matic Dairy Feeder enables you to feed additional train and concentrates only to the top producing cows in your herd! H efininatcs the labor problem of separating the herd in a loose housing system to give individual attention to top producing animals. The Serv-O-Matic 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 Serv- 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-O- Matic ... some as high as 5 lbs. of milk per pound of feed! One Serv-O-Malic 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.
