SystemD and CalanIQ® modernize the Calan Broadbent Feeding System, giving research facilities a connected platform for individual feed intake and feeding behavior data.
Now you can digitize every Calan door. SystemD and CalanIQ bring new technology to the Calan Broadbent Feeding System, turning your existing Calan doors into a connected research platform and expanding the questions your studies can answer. Existing installations upgrade with new SystemD boards.
SystemD: Automatically and Accurately Capture Feeding Behavior
SystemD lives inside the Calan door, at the entry to the feed bunk where your research data begins. It captures each animal’s feeding behavior accurately and automatically, the moment it happens.
Data You Can Trust
● Every Gate Visit: every visit to a Calan door is recorded automatically, by individual animal.
● Feed Sessions: visits are assembled into feed sessions, with timing and duration captured.
● Alerts: automatic alerts let you know when hardware or data collection needs attention.
● Cloud Connected and Secure: data moves to a secure cloud automatically, with no local servers to maintain.
● Real Time Data Access: your data is available live, as it is collected.
● Remotely Upgradable: firmware updates deploy over the air, with no site visit required.
Compatible with all Calan doors.
CalanIQ: A Complete Platform for Your Feed Studies
CalanIQ is the first platform of its kind, built to structure and run your entire feed study. It follows the feed from the dry matter of every ingredient, through your treatment formulation, to the exact amount each animal consumes, and aligns every figure to your study parameters. The data is captured accurately at the individual animal level, and it is yours, exportable in full whenever you need it.
Other feed operations data stops at the pen. CalanIQ takes it to the individual animal. Every ration mixed and every ort recovered is attributed automatically to the animal that received it, with no spreadsheets to reconcile and no manual allocation. The full process, from formulation to net intake, is automated and auditable.
Because your data arrives aligned to your study parameters and your study day, it is ready to analyze the moment it lands. There are no raw files to scrub and no scripts to reverse engineer the data back into your study design. Analyze by individual animal or roll up to the group, whichever your study calls for. That efficiency adds up across every study your facility runs.
What CalanIQ Delivers
● Study Day Logic: every measurement aligns to your study day, not the clock.
● Comprehensive Study Management: set up, run, and manage your entire study from one place.
● End to End Feed Operations: from ingredient and formulation to intake and orts, captured and attributed automatically.
● Feeding Behavior Analytics: visit frequency, feeding duration, and intake timing, ready to analyze by animal or group.
● Multi Study Support: run multiple studies at once, each with its own protocol and its data kept separate.
