Recording > slow milking animal

Recording > scanning flasks

slow milking animal 

is one that goes around a 

rotary shed 

more than once before she 

is completely milked out, without a change in flask.

 

 

You don’t need to worry about this situation as you can either 

skip the bail

 on the 

second time around (don’t re-record the animal and flask), or you can 

record the 

animal and flask again as normal 

and EZ Link will automatically recognise the animal is 

a slow milker.

 

 

If the flask is changed a Duplicate Animals screen will appear, there is however an 

option to record as an 

overflow,

 linking the two flasks to the same animal.

The position of the HHU’s scan buttons are shown on page 

4.

 

 

A successful scan

 is indicated by a green light at the top of the HHU, a beep sound, and 

HHU vibrates. A green flask also displays on the screen.

 

 

If you hit the scan button multiple times on the same flask a message will display 

advising of a failed scan. Make sure that a green flask is displayed next to the animal.

1. To add a missing animal,

 first tap on the bail 

number where the animal should be.

 

 

2. 

Next, tap 

Add Missed Animal.

 

 

This action moves all animals already entered 

down one bail, leaving the current bail empty 

to enter the missed animal. If flasks have been 

scanned, these do not move.
