American Calan

AMERICAN CALAN, INC. is a specialized company that designs and builds agricultural equipment used in the feeding and data collection of large animals at research facilities throughout the world.

CALAN BROADBENT FEEDING SYSTEM:
An electronic recognition system which allows researchers to dispense individual diets to animals housed in a group-reduces by two-thirds the number of animals required per trial and provides the economic and behavioral advantages of group management.

DATA RANGER:
A computer-equipped self-propelled vehicle that manages feed handling and feed data collection with precision and efficiency-batches, mixes, dispenses and weighs-back feed and links the animal trial to the researcher's data processing system.

TEST-TUBS:
A specialized line of fiberglass ration containers engineered for the rigorous requirements of animal trials, as well as for the physical and behavioral needs of a research species. To individually feed group-housed animals, E-Z Tilt Test-Tubs work with the Calan Broadbent Feeding System to secure rations against stealing, spilling or contamination. For confinement-housed dairy cattle, Mobile Test-Tubs control individual feeding programs and ensure ration security.

GOAT, SHEEP, AND CALF FEEDING SYSTEM:
An electronically controlled feeding system that allows researchers to distribute grain or forage based rations to individual animals. This system consists of miniaturized version of the Calan Broadbent Feeding Doors. The system also embodies the use of appropriately designed test tubs to accommodate small ruminant animals. We have successfully developed systems that function effectively with young animals through their growth phase to maturity.

UNITRON SWINE SYSTEM:
Electronically controlled feeding units for group-housed pigs that securely contain and dispense individual rations to each animal in a common trial pen-gives researchers the means to control and document individual feed intake.

ELEVATED FORAGE STORAGE UNIT:
In developing a complete feed handling system for an animal research center it is often necessary to provide interim storage of forage materials. The characteristics of forage preclude the use of common grain storage bins. Special bins equipped with live bottoms are required in order to guarantee flowability. The Elevated Forage Storage Unit is designed specifically to work in concert with the Data Ranger.

RANGER MATE:
A special purpose manually operated cart equipped with a microprocessor weighing system that can weigh a variety of items ranging from crates of chickens, baby pigs, to feed rations and orts. This unit can record individual weights and transfer these weights to your in-house data processing system. The unit is simple to operate and can be utilized in confined areas.
