Automated feeder to cut poultry costs
Aimed at helping producers improve feed use and cut costs, feeding technology specialist Feedlogic Corporation has introduced a new version of its FeedSaver intelligent feeding system.
Feedlogic president Drew Ryder states that with skyrocketing feed prices,
it’s never been more important to get maximum nutrient value out of every kg of
feed. “Getting the right feed at the right time to a group of birds should be an
even higher priority. But with the many diet phases fed in different stages of
poultry production, it can be challenging to manage feed deliveries and feed
budgets.”
According to Feedlogic Corp, the FeedSaver S-Series addresses
this problem by automatically creating the correct diets in the shed using just
two or three base diets. Diets can be dedicated to specific bins, making it
easier for the feed mill to plan deliveries and reducing errors by feed wagon
drivers.
The Feedsaver, which can apparently be retrofitted into almost
any poultry facility, consists of a stationary version of Feedlogic’s automated
system, which mixes the base feeds into the desired blend. Diets can be altered
frequently according to a prescribed feed strategy. The system also continuously
collects data on feed intake, allowing producers to track growth and
performance.
