First implementation of feed tables in Delpro.
- Two tables: Normal, Challenge
- Challenge table is setup to feed at a rate based on 10lb higher milk production
- Challenge table has minimum of 8lb – don’t want fresh cows to ever have less than 8lb
- Normal table has a minimum of 3lb – don’t want any cow to ever have less than 3lb to keep her coming to the robot and having enough to eat to keep her calm
- Heifers are on challenge table from 21 DIM to 90 DIM and Normal table from 91 DIM on
- Cows are on challenge table from 21 DIM to 70 DIM and Normal table from 71 DIM on
- Both groups are started with 4lbs at calving, and increased to 10lb by 10DIM
