First startup of 2022! These two Lely A5 Astronauts have simply been added to the end of the existing cubicle building, to allow the college to split the cows into a new robot milked herd, running alongside the existing miking parlour. This will give the students the ability to experience convential milking and the best in robotic free cow access milking all on the same campus. The Lely Juno feed pusher and Discovery slat cleaner, previously installed, have already proved themselves to be a great investment. 🐄🐮🐄🐮🐄🐮🐄

Revolutionary manure robots for dense barn floors

Regular cleaning of the floor inhibits the growth of bacteria and keeps feet, udders and tails cleaner. This not only increases foot health, it contributes to the overall productivity of your herd. By using the very latest technology, the barn floor can be kept clean automatically.

Increasing the feed intake has never been easier

Frequent feed pushing, throughout the day and night, stimulates the dry matter intake of the herd. This optimises rumen health, feed efficiency and productivity. By automating this recurring work, the Lely Juno makes your life easier and makes your day more flexible, your production more efficient and your business more successful.

The Lely Juno is suited to every farm, to find out more click below.
