Introduction

How to graze with robotic milking

Grazing with Lely demonstrates that UK dairy farmers can successfully combine high-tech automation with traditional pasture management. This approach allows you to integrate robotic milking systems into a grazing-based model, giving your herd the freedom to access fresh grass while maintaining total control over their milking frequency and nutritional intake. By seamlessly connecting automated technology with precision grassland management, you can promote better cow welfare and increase overall farm efficiency without the need for constant manual intervention.

This smart selection box seamlessly integrates with Lely’s automated milking systems, directing cows to grazing when it best suits their milking schedule and nutritional needs. By promoting efficient pasture use and reducing the need for manual intervention, the Grazeway helps improve cow welfare, milk production, and overall farm efficiency.

Work life balance with Lely system

To be able to get up on a Sunday morning and get your jobs done quickly, then be gone for the day, and come back at, say, seven, eight or nine o’clock and do 20 minutes to half an hour’s work, that’s massive. Since the robots and the Grazeway System were installed, it’s also become easier to get help

Optimising Grazing with the Lely Astronaut

We Grazeway at a point which provided good access for the cow, whether she's walking from our A, B or C milking blocks. Once we had the system in place, we put all the cows out to grass and then trained them through the Grazeway and then onto the Astronaut all in one go

Flexible Farming with the Lely Astronaut A5

We run an A-B-C system here, which involves the use of three paddocks, three times a day – every eight hours – which ensures that when cows skip a block, they have first access to the newest block, meaning they’ll get the best quality grass available
