1Introduction
The purpose of this document is to explain the features and functions of the APR500 hand-
reader that has been set up for use with the BenguFarm Beef software. The hand-reader has
nine tasks that allow data to be recorded and transferred directly into the BenguFarm Beef
software. It must be noted that the APR can only be loaded with 9 tasks at any given time.
2Using the APR500
Switch on the APR500 by pressing the red “C” (cancel) key on the keypad. The start screen will
be displayed.
Figure 1: APR500 Start Screen
To select one of the tasks, press the blue “F” (function) key, this will bring up the main menu.
Navigate to Task Mode using the arrow keys, select Task Mode (select by pressing the green
enter (↵) key on keypad). Navigate to the required task by using the arrow keys, and press
enter to select the task. The APR500 will take you step by step through all the fields of the
task. If any fields are not applicable to the user, it can be left blank, or zero (0), any zero- or
empty values will be ignored by BenguFarm Beef.

3Task Descriptions
3.1 Registration
The use of this task is to twofold: to register new animals and to register a tag-change. If an
animal is found with one tag missing (electronic or visual), the registration task allows you to
issue a replacement tag, by identifying the animal using the remaining tag. To use this task,
select it on the task menu by pressing enter. This is the only task where the visual
identification number (VID) is used, all other tasks use only the electronic identification
number (EID), it is therefore important that the animals be registered before using other
tasks.

3.2 Mating
This task records which cows were mated with which bulls, and the start- and end-date of the
mating (multiple bulls are allowed). After the bulls have been selected (the process of
importing bulls to the APR500 is described in 5.2.1 Selecting Breeding Bulls), the APR500 will
go into “speed mode”, this means that the APR500 will continuously scan for tags. It is not
necessary to press the enter key to read a tag. Any tags in the reading range of the APR500
will be recorded (duplicates will be ignored). To stop reading, press the cancel key twice.

3.3 Scanning
The Scanning task records the pregnancy status of the animal (amount of fetuses found in a
cow) during pregnancy examination, the mating cycle and the number of weeks the ewe is
pregnant for.

3.4 Calving
The calving task is used to record which lambs were born from which cows. The mating task
(see section Error! Reference source not found.) already records which cows and bulls were m
ated together.
