Feed to Need with the Lely Vector – Autonomous Feeding for Dairy & Beef Farming

Imagine being able to feed your cattle the ration they need when they want it, without spending hours on a tractor seat mixing and feeding. The Lely Vector Mixer Feeder Robot assesses, pushes, mixes, and feeds autonomously 24 hours a day, seven days a week, making it the Mixer Feed Robot that never sleeps! The Vector MFR continuously monitors feed levels and pushes up the feed as needed. If additional feed is required, the Vector will return to the feed kitchen, where it will automatically and accurately prepare the required ration and quantity before heading back to the feed fence.

For dairy farmers, the Lely Vector means healthier cows and improved milk production. By providing consistent and balanced feed, it helps maintain optimal health and productivity in dairy herds. For beef farmers, the Lely Vector leads to better growth rates and feed conversion. The precise feeding system ensures that beef cattle receive the nutrients they need for optimal growth and development.

With labour savings, enhanced animal health, and increased profitability, the Lely Vector isn’t just about feeding—it’s about future-proofing your farm. Feed smarter, work easier, and let the Lely Vector do the heavy lifting. Whether you’re focused on dairy or beef farming, the Lely Vector is designed to meet the specific needs of your livestock, ensuring they thrive and your farm prospers.

Benefits and Costs

We have no bullying at the feed fence because feed is constantly available. When you started the diet feeder, you couldn’t hear yourself think. But now you can’t hear a noise, and cattle do not rush to the feed fence.

Capital Investment

There’s never any cows balling or rushing to the feed fence. It works away, and it saves so much time. Before, I would spend two hours putting out silage each day. Now, I spend 20 minutes filling the feed kitchen every other day and the cows are constantly getting fresh feed.
