Unoccupied Stalls and Cows without Tags: No Tag Options.
1: The stall is occupied by an untagged cow that has a record and you want to feed the cow:
Key in the cow number.
Press FEED. The cow's record will be accessed and she will be fed the appropriate amount of cake.
The system will then move on to any subsequent stall with an error.
This cow will need to be 'stepped' at each milking
2: The stall is occupied by an untagged cow that does NOT have a record and you want to feed the cow:
Press FEED. The display will change to request a ration
Key in the ration value required.
Press ENTER.
The cow will be fed the ration
value entered and the system will move
on to any subsequent stall with an error.
This cow will need to be 'stepped' at each milking
3: The stall is unoccupied or is occupied by a cow that does not require feeding.
Press the FEED key TWICE. The system will step over the current stall and move on to any subsequent stall with
an error.
After all 'problem' cows have been dealt with, the display shows 'SCAN END'. The next side may now be scanned.
4: Skipping stalls during the last side of milking (MicroMarque3S software version 4.21 or above).
For the 'last row/side' of cows where the end stalls are unoccupied.
Once the Auto-ID system has identified all the cows that are present (the stall number window on the
MicroMarque3S is showing the first unoccupied stall number), hold the shift key down and press the 0 key.
This will cause the Auto-ID system to skip immediately to 'SCANEND' thus avoiding having to step unoccupied
stalls and potentially dropping "pre-feed" ration to those stalls.
