21st January 2021‘Watch our webinar to find out how the DLM feeding module, which is currently available on T4C and will also be available on Horizon, finds the most profitable cake allocation for each cow. In the past months we have trialled this module on a number of farms, closely monitoring effects on yields, forage performance and cow health. Throughout the trial we have been putting financial figures together and the amounts of cash saved are impressive.’

2 Astronaut milking robots, 1 Grazeway‘“It is important to us to see our cows outside grazing and displaying their natural behaviours. The Lely Grazeway has given us the flexibility to combine robotic milking on two Lely Astronaut A5 robots with grazing for six months of the year. Whilst outside grazing, the herd is averaging up to 34 litres from 2.5 milkings per day; pre-robots we would average around 25 litres..”’

2 Astronaut milking robots, 1 Juno, 1 Grazeway‘15 years ago, the Harvey family took the plunge and invested in two A3 milking robots. With changes needing to be made to the farm to secure its future, Fred made the decision that robots were the way forward and fifteen years on they have also added the Juno automatic feeder and the Grazeway system to their barns.’

1 Astronaut milking robot, 1 Grazeway‘We have noticed that visitors to the farm expect to see our cows outside grazing; our organic herd use the Grazeway to decide when they want to go outside, and they come back inside to the Astronaut to be milked. They really are ‘free range’ cows.’

1 Discovery 120 Collector‘There has been a noticeable reduction in digital dermatitis throughout the herd since installing the Lely Collector robot says Jeff Harris, and he is seeing cleaner cows in general and with udders being so much cleaner, milking times in his parlour have reduced as he is not needing to clean the cows so thoroughly pre milking.’

2 Astronaut milking robots, 1 Juno, 1 Discovery 90 SW‘“Investing in two Lely Astronaut A5 robotic milking systems and a Juno feed pusher has helped us to increase yield, improve herd health and welfare, and for us, have a life,” says Simon who together with his wife, Alison and son, Ben milk a high output 315 commercial cow commercial herd near Wadebridge, Cornwall.’

1 Discovery 120 Collector‘Paul is now saving two bales worth of sawdust each day due to cleaner cows requiring fewer bedding changes. This is saving him £8.60 a day which over a 6-month housing period in the winter will be a saving of £1500 in bedding alone. The Collector will have paid for itself within 3- or 4-years Paul predicts as it is also saving 1.5 hours in paid labour, tractor depreciation and fuel costs.’

3 Astronaut milking robots, 1 Juno, 1 Discovery 90 SW‘Robotic systems help to solve labour issues, improve overall enterprise efficiency and for us introduce that element of flexibility. We are setting our sights on continuing to build cow numbers to 350 in order to develop a robust business for the next generation; we’ve four children aged between 22 and 13 years of age, and 20-year-old Alex is already back working on the farm.’

2 Astronaut milking robots, 1 Discovery 120 Collector‘“Installing robots stopped me selling the herd and kept me in dairy farming” says Chris Cory about his two A5 milking robots. “After milking in a parlour for almost 40 years, I was ready to sell up, but the robots have made such a difference that I am continuing to farm and my children now have a future in dairy farming.”’
