Let the machine do the monitoring
The E-Z Consumption Meter will calculate and record the average daily feed eaten by an animal over a one-, three- or seven-day period. Up to 400 days of data can be downloaded to a personal computer for further analysis. Automatic reverse calibration uses actual feed weight delivered to the feed tank to calibrate intake values, even if there are changes in feed density. This patent-pending feature allows the meter to monitor feed consumption without expensive load cells. Producers striving for cost savings with phase feeding, or optimal diets based on unit-specific feed intake curves, will be interested in the E-Z consumption meter. It sells for $1,500 (U.S.).
