Feeding

An optional feature of the Nedap PorkTuner system is feeding advice. With feeding advice Nedap advices about the optimal moment to switch to the next feed phase, based on the weight of the animals.

The page Feeding in Velos shows an overview of the current feed phases of all locations. Velos always shows the locations that should switch now first. Click All, Soon or Overdue to see the other locations. The progress bar indicates when the optimal switch moment is. When the indicator is in the green part of the progress bar, you should switch to the next feeding phase.

When the optimal switch moment is reached for a location, the location also appears on the Dashboard in the Feeding phases widget.
