  • a twenty-ninth step (29) it asks if the goal has been reached. If so (S), for both variables, in a thirtieth step (E30) it signals both to the application and to the signaling module (27) that drives the servo motor (53), placing it in the status of condition “z” which indicates withdrawal.
  • the architecture of the complete system for real-time monitoring of milk, feed/concentrate consumption and performance for calves in the suckling phase is composed of a processor (57), a LoRa communicator (59), which enables communication via the internet with the server (58), both in the electronic module (28).
