Grow Safe Feeders◦ Measures Residual Feed Intake and Cattle
Behavior◦ Useful in determining cattle that are feed efficient
Invest in those genetics◦ Once identified, we can produce more beef for
consumes with less grain input

How it Works Each Calf in the Pen has an RFID Tag that is read by the feeder System Calculates
◦ Duration and intake for every individual feeding event up to one second accurate (feeding event criterion is user defined).
◦ Head down and in to out duration during this event up to one second accurate.◦ Feed disappearance during events up to one second accurate.◦ Feeding frequency throughout the day◦ Automatic calculation of feed supply.◦ Feeding rate throughout feeding event.◦ Animals standing at the bunk not consuming feed.◦ Time of the event, one second accurate.◦ Intervals between events.◦ Number of animals feeding simultaneously.◦ Social hierarchy - "who feeds besides who" and "who feeds first".◦ Sends data to Computer for Analysis
Cost is $120,000 to feed 125 head
Grow Safe

Accurate Information to use in developing feed efficient Beef
Primarily will be used in Seedstock Industry Saves on Input Costs Decreases Pollution in the Environment
◦ Efficient Cattle use less grain, which means they will emit less Methane gas into the environment.
Feed the world with less animals and less land use requirements
Potential Benefits

Embryo Transfer work in Cattle◦ Allows producers to super ovulate cattle so they
produce more eggs for fertilization. Once fertilized the embryos can be flushed from the uterus and placed in recipient females.
◦ This means that superior animals who naturally produce one offspring each year can produce multiple offspring creating a faster turnover in genetic improvement.

Allows farmers to better understand their soil nutrient content ◦ Therefore they can achieve better use of their
fertilizer When to do it?
◦ If you acquire a new farm without known history◦ Every Few Years at you discretion

Improves quality of life◦ More time at home due to increased efficiencies◦ Increases production yields◦ Creates more food with better use of inputs
Decreases Fatigue in operations◦ When using guidance or “robot milkers” or any
other P.A technology, it generally reduces the amount of physical labor required
Increases bottom line◦ By reducing costs and optimizing inputs, you
increase profits
