Product Overview	The Compact Smart Automatic Calf Feeder is designed for automated milk feeding in small and medium-sized dairy calf operations. The system can manage up to 50 calves and supply up to two feeding stations with freshly prepared milk portions throughout the day. Individual animals are identified by compatible collar transponders or electronic ear tags. The control system then delivers age- and requirement-based portions while recording individual drinking activity for efficient calf management.
Key Features	Automatic feeding management for up to 50 calves. Supports up to two automatic feeding stations. Fresh milk portions prepared in precisely controlled quantities. Controlled drinking temperature for consistent feeding conditions. Individual calf identification by transponder or electronic ear tag. Programmable age- and requirement-based feeding plans. Individual milk intake and drinking behavior documentation. Fully automatic cleaning reduces daily manual labor. Internet-enabled calf management and remote data access. Available as milk-replacer or fresh-milk plus milk-replacer combination configuration.
Structural Components	Powder Hopper: Stores milk replacer for automatic portion preparation. Intensive Mixing Unit: Mixes water and milk replacer into a uniform calf milk ration. Heating System: Maintains the programmed drinking temperature. Feeding Pump: Transfers prepared milk to the connected feeding station. Animal Identification Unit: Recognizes compatible electronic calf identification devices. Control Terminal: Provides access to feeding parameters, calf records and operating settings. Cleaning Circuit: Performs programmed automatic cleaning of milk-contact components. Network Interface: Supports internet-based calf management and system monitoring.
Working Principle	When a calf enters the feeding station, the electronic identification system recognizes the animal and checks its individual feeding plan, previous consumption and current milk allowance. When the calf is entitled to feed, the machine automatically prepares the required milk portion at the programmed concentration and temperature and delivers it to the teat. Each feeding visit and milk intake is recorded for individual animal management. Automatic cleaning cycles help maintain hygiene throughout the milk preparation and delivery system.
