Piglets and feeding.
•
Always ensure the nest is warm, >30°C.
•
Ask your feed supplier for feed advice; always use a meal or a pellet with a maximum diameter of 2mm.
•
When switching to solid food this must be provided ad lib dry alongside the mash.
•
The feed quantity is adjusted manually. In practice the trough must be empty for around 10 minutes in every hour.
In this way leftover feed can be avoided.
•
Manual adjustment demands little effort but does require discipline; it guarantees best results.
•
The sensor must only function as an emergency brake; under normal circumstances the sensor does not come into
contact with the feed.
•
The best and simplest indication of the correct feed quantity is the absence of old leftover feed in the trough. The
feed in the trough must look fresh!
•
Too much feed: there is old leftover feed.
•
Too little feed: the piglets are hungry and the trough is empty.
•
Checking once a day is sufficient; the best time to check is in the afternoon.
•
The feed should not be too runny or too dry, it should flow to some extent (dry content 20-24%).
•
If diarrhoea should occur, immediately provide water with organic acids and select a feed type with a lower energy
content.
•
Provide drinking water freely as soon as the piglets are familiar with the mash.
•
Avoid age differences as far as possible.
6.
Cleaning and maintenance.
•
The trough can be hosed clean.
•
The mixing chamber can be detached and cleaned. This is usually not necessary. The mixing chamber can be
reached with a high-pressure spray through the 4 grooves in the lid. Spray here briefly and with low force.
•
Never use a high-pressure spray for cleaning the other parts, particularly the control box.
•
The inside of the feed hopper only holds dry feed and does not have to be wet-cleaned.
•
Clean the control box and the outside of the machine with a damp cloth.
•
The machine requires no specific maintenance other than the compulsory safety inspections. \
