Feed Meter

Feed Meter LIVESTOCK Beef 19-1-13 "It's a low-cost way for livestock and poultry producers to accurately monitor feed consumption from bulk bins," says Easy Systems of its new EZ Consumption Meter. Priced at approximately $1,500, it doesn't require equipping your bulk bins with load cells. You simply wire it to the starter motor circuit of your feed distribution system. It monitors the amount of feed exiting the bulk bin. This value can be transmitted to a PC system for graphing and adjusting rations for actual feed intake. It stores up to 400 days of feeding information, telling you how many pounds of a ration are left to feed, and average daily consumption on a per head basis for the last 24 hours, the last 3 days, and the last 7 days.
