If at least one feeding station has been created in the feed group and a ration with feeding station has been created, you can also see a corresponding view “Concentrates” in the ration.

To do so, go to Rations > Overview in the left menu and select the feed group in which you have created the feeding station. Click here on the wanted ration or the eye symbol in it’s row. An additional “Concentrates” tab appears there at the top.

On the far-right side of the figure, the maximum for the milk yield from the total ration is shown.

The milk yield from the total ration is calculated as follows:

• milk from feed fence
• milk from feeding station 1 and, if necessary, milk from feeding station 2

If you have entered the roughage supplanting factor in the basic data of the feed group, this will also be taken into account. This means that the part of the concentrate station ration that contains basic feed (also roughage or coarse feed, shown in the stock with a green dot) is eaten less at the feed table by the set factor.

For example: if you add e.g. 1 kg dry matter of a feedstuff in the station and have set the supplanting factor 0.5, this 1kg now displaces exactly 0.5 kg (dry matter) in total of the roughages of the feed table ration. The roughage mixture at the feed table is reduced in its composition, i.e. proportionally for each roughage feedstuff.

Consequently, the milk yield is also calculated on the basis of this feed quantity: max. concentrate quantity * roughages supplanting factor + sum of kg fresh matter from the feed table.
