摘要：
A device for use in conjunction with a mixer/feeder apparatus 1 for monitoring operation of the mixer/feeder apparatus 1 and for determining instants during a mixing cycle of a batch of animal feed at which respective ingredients of the animal feed are to be loaded into the mixer/feeder apparatus 1, comprises a first storing means 56, a signal processing means 55 and a display means 54. The first storing means 56 is configured to store data indicative of the identities of the respective ingredients of the batch of animal feed, the proportions of the respective ingredients required to produce the batch of animal feed, the instants during the mixing cycle of the batch of animal feed at which the respective ingredients are to be loaded into the mixer/feeder apparatus 1, and the duration of the mixing cycle. The signal processing means 55 is responsive to the stored data in the first storing means 56 to sequentially produce first signals indicative of the identities of the ingredients and the weights thereof in the sequence in which the ingredients are to be loaded into the mixer/feeder apparatus 1 during the mixing cycle. The signal processing means 55 is also responsive to the data stored in the first storing means 56 and to signals indicative of the operation of the mixer/feeder apparatus 1 for sequentially producing second signals to identify the instants at which the respective ingredients are to be loaded into the mixer/feeder apparatus 1 during the mixing cycle. The display means 54 is responsive to the first signals to sequentially display the identities of the ingredients in the sequence in which the ingredients are to be loaded into the mixer/feeder wagon during the mixing cycle.
