• Feeding Savings more dollars over feed cost • Improve Herd Health • Simple installation Efficient feeding = 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' fo "maintain' her milk production level. The computerized Selective Feeder Executive 8085 System lets you do just that. It’s so effective, most dairymen find the system pays for itself in reduced feed bills and increased pro duction in less than a year! 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.
