1 INTRODUCTION
The COSMIX S Concentrate Feeder supplies an exact portion of extra feed
to cows to realize their maximum milk production. The feed portion can
be a mixture of up to four different types of concentrates.
An electronic tag on each cow enables the system to identify the cow via
an unique number. There are three tag types:
•Qwes H/HR for identification with an infrared ID reader
•Qwes ACT for identification with an ISO ID reader
•Qwes leg for identification with an ISO ID reader
The T4C (Time for Cows) farm management software has information
about each cow and adjusts the use quantity and mixture of the feed
based on this information.
In combination with the Astronaut milking robot a closed system of
milking and allocation of concentrates can be created.
The information in this manual is for farmers and technicians.
•Farmers use the information to test and adjust the COSMIX S or to list
overviews
•Technicians use the information to install and setup the COSMIX S.
