To determine how much feed is left in your feed silo, you can use the following methods:
- Electronic weighing system: Installing an electronic weighing system on your feed silo displays the weight of the feed in real time, allowing you to accurately determine how much feed is left.
- Feed usage recorder: Record daily feed usage. Based on the number of days used and the average daily usage, you can roughly calculate the amount of feed remaining in the silo. This method requires accurate record keeping of feed usage and regular checks of the remaining feed in the silo to prevent feed shortages.
- Feed Level Sensor: Installing a feed level sensor in a feed silo monitors the feed level in real time, providing a rough estimate of the remaining feed.
- Manual Estimation: This method uses the remaining feed in the silo and factors such as feed usage rate and feed type to provide a rough estimate. This method requires experienced animal husbandry personnel and may result in errors.
In short, during the farming process, it is important to keep track of the remaining feed in the silo so that timely replenishment can be made to ensure the normal growth and development of the animals. You can choose the appropriate monitoring and recording method based on your specific situation.
