Higher PROFITS
Group feeding is costly and inefficient.
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. The computerized Sell
ecutive 8085 System lets you do just that
most dairymen find the system pays for
feed bills and increased production in less
It’s simple
You determine a daily feeding allowance for each cow by programming
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 sup
plement 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 programmed for it.
Money-saving management tool
You can get a printout from the Executive 8085 at any time. Each print
out gives you the valuable feed management information:
• Amount of feed programmed for
each cow
• Amount of feed dispensed to each
cow, this cycle
• Amount of feed dispensed to each
cow, this month
• Summary of previous cycle.
You can quickly spot problem cows
by asking the.computer to print out
all cows not eating 75% of their pro
grammed ration.
Total herd management system
For a total dairy management system, connect your Selective Feeder
System with our Zenith Farm Management System. Readouts are
available in your office on the Zenith computer. Optional software
programs allow you to integrate health, breeding, production and
feeding management programs in one computer system.
