Feeding
Will Dodd, Dodleston Hall Farm
Cheshire, UK
Will Dodd of Dodleston Hall Farm milk 300 pedigree Holstein cows with a large focus on animal welfare. They revolutionised their feeding system with the Lely Vector in 2023, which has ensured fresh feed 24/7, boosting rumen health, and their litres output per cow.
Product used
Vector | Horizon | Discovery Collector
Dodleston Hall Farm, managing 300 pedigree Holstein cows, installed the Vector feeding system in 2024. Previously, feed was only provided once a day and pushed until the night check at 9 PM, remaining untouched until morning. Now, with the Vector, cows receive fresh feed throughout the day and night, with feed being pushed every hour, even on weekends. This system has made feeding much more flexible. Filling the kitchen takes just 20 minutes, and it can hold enough feed for up to three days.
