Higher PROFITS
Group feeding is costly and ineffi
cient. To maximize your profits,
you’ve got to supply each cow with
the exact amount of feed she needs
to maintain her milk production level,
puterized Selective Feeder ExecutL
System lets you do just that. I.t’s so effective,
most dairymen find the system pays for itself in
reduced feed bills and increased, production in
less than a year!
It’s simple
You determine a daily feeding allowance for each cow by pro
gramming the computer to dispense a certain amount of feed
during each 6,8 or 12 hour cycle. You choose a unique ration
for each animal by mixing supplement and base rations with
the computer.
• Each cow wears an inexpensive, reliable identification tag.
• Cows can feed at any feeding station.
• Feeding auger automatically stops when cow steps away.
• Each cow receives only the amount of feed you have pro
grammed for it.
