[QUOTE="bwranch, post: 111696, member: 102"] MikeC, Sorry, can't help you with the software. But to sidetrack the thread just a bit, I was wondering if you had considered using intake modifiers to limit feed during the test. This is sort of a naive view of things but assuming the technology works, then each animal would get the same amount of feed and you could calculate your efficiency just by weighing. I know the only test station we have left in the area, SIU-Carbondale went to an IM based system last year. Haven't heard anything good or bad about the results. Claims are that it will improve your forage usage also. Would appreciate thoughts on this, as I'm seriously considering using it this fall. We're pretty much forced into on farm testing here in MO as all of the local test stations have shut down. Lee [/QUOTE]
