Precision feed batching boosts productivity and profitability

To keep your livestock farm productive and profitable, precision feed batching can be a key ingredient. The industry-leading Batching Control System from BinTrac by HerdStar of Mankato, Minnesota, precisely batches and accurately monitors feed inventory and usage.

Proven accuracy and flexibility
Accurate, reliable and easy to operate, the BinTrac Batching System’s modular, configurable design means that the system can be easily matched with your unique application and requirements. “We can put together a system to meet a multitude of needs. The modular design allows our solution to be configured based on the customer’s site-specific requirements,” said Mitch Wilking, HerdStar sales manager.

For instance, in one type of single-batching configuration, the BinTrac batching controller is connected to a single inventory bin equipped with patented BinTrac load cells and programmed to unload a target amount of feed. Dual-batching configurations include a setup with a dual console connected to a single weigh bin. The dual console controllers are assigned, respectively, to deliver feed from the inventory bin into the weigh bin and from the weigh bin into the house. These are just two of many possible BinTrac system configurations.
