9.3 How and Why to Use Levels During a Growout
As your animals mature during a growout cycle, it is necessary to periodically change their
environment to maintain their health and happiness, thus improving your profitability. The System
offers a unique feature that allows you to select and save up to seven different levels or programs.
Each level or program can be setup to be of the most value to your animals at a particular stage of
growth or during a specific season or using different features. Following is a sample of two different
levels or programs which will show you how to go from brooding to full house operation in a matter
of seconds. This example uses half house brooding in a Tunnel building. Example two shows how to
carry the same house to full house operation. The controller allows you to set up your house through
seven different levels, enough to go from brooding to the end of growout.
