Another super nice project finished this month in the USA!
The University of Wisconsin-Platteville installed a state-of-the-art RIC2Discover system with 24 RIC feed-weigh troughs in their dairy research barn.
The university is very proud to have this equipment in the dairy barn, to be able to do individual feed intake and feed intake behavior research.
This project was supported by the Dairy Innovation Hub.

Since 2018 ACBM (Associacao Criadores Bovinos Mertolengos) in Evora Portugal, is using very successfully, a RIC system for the individual feed intake research for the performance testing of their growing animals.
Because of the increasing demand for individual animal performance data, ACBM recently increased their RIC system with 9 additional RIC2Discover feed-weigh troughs and upgraded the complete installation to the new state of the art RIC2Discover Apollo software.

The project continues!

The RIC2Discover system arrived this week at the Dairy Research farm of the University of Guelph, Ontario Canada.
The 2 containers with equipment are unloaded and brought to the dairy barn, where our excellent installation crew will start the installation work in the next few days.

There is more to come, we will keep you posted about the progress of this very nice project.

Research Institute LAZBW in Aulendorf Germany installed in 2009 the first RIC system.
Due to the increasing demand for individual feed and water intake data, and the huge success with the RIC system, they have added more RIC feed-weigh and water-weigh troughs over the last 14 years.
Recently they have upgraded the RIC system to the new Apollo controller and Apollo RIC software for new and improved users interface possibilities.
At the same time LAZBW added a few new RIC2Discover feed weigh troughs, which fully integrated in complete Ric system configuration.
The new features of the RIC2Discover system, attracted the attention of LAZBW, like automatic tilting to empty the troughs automatically and the control of the system via the App on the mobile phone.
LAZBW is ready for more future extensions of the RIC system, to accommodate the increasing demand for good and reliable individual feed and water intake research.
