How do I activate feed balance attentions?

To check if all cows have eaten their feed amounts, it is possible to generate Feed balance lists in Velos. When this option is activated, automatic attentions appear when an animal has not eaten all of the feed.

1. Go to Settings > Feeding > Attentions.
2. Fill in both values (absolute and percentage) for getting an attention.
3. Click Submit.

An attention is only generated when both values are reached. For example, with the values set a 0.5 kg and 10%:

• Total feed amount of 5 kg: feed balance is 500 g or higher
• Total feed amount of 8 kg: feed balance is 800 g or higher

Example

The attention limits are set at 0.5 kg (absolute) and 10% (relative):

• An animal gets a total feed amount of 8 kg/day > attention limit is 500 g absolute and 800 g relative
  (10% of 8 kg) > Feed balance attention is given if 800 g or more of the feed is not eaten.

To view the feed balance attention:

1. Go to Dashboard > Feeding > Feed balance.
2. Click on the blue graphic sign to see the feed history per animal.

Reports

To view the reports of the feed balance attentions:

1. Go to Reports > Feeding. Several reports are available up to the last seven days.
