The pen number is displayed at the scale as a user prompt and is limited to 6 characters. Enter a description
and number of head. Select the ration to be fed by clicking on the down arrow and selecting the ration

Feeding Factors
The Global Feeding Factor % affects all feedings. To increase the amount to be fed to the pen by 5%,
change the Global Feeding Factor % by 5%.
As an example – to increase a total call weight from 5000 lbs to 5250 lbs, change the Global
Feeding Factor % from 100% to 105%.
The Feeding Factor % affects only that feeding.
As an example – a pen fed two times per day could have the morning (1
st
feeding), set to 60% and
the afternoon (2
nd
feeding), set to 40%.
