Frequent feeding encourages more forage intake this would lead to better animal health and hopefully to increased fertility and production. Eating several meals a day keeps the pH value of the rumen more stable, thus allowing cows to utilize the ration that they eat. Dairy cows become more active with regular feeding which encourages more visits to the milking robots resulting in increased performance.

Insight into profits
The Lely Vector provides more understanding into the efficiency and profitability of your feeding strategy. Lely Horizon, our management platform highlights all feed intakes per cow and per group. You can measure the effects of changes to rations by linking the system to the Lely Astronaut. This allows you to gain an insight into whether the cost of a change produces not only a higher yield but also a higher return.

Testimonial
Lely Vector Testimonial with Gem and Mike King, North Bristol, England
"Everything is a lot more flexible. I can feed the cows whenever i want to. I can do things when convenient. I spend more time managing the cows rather than doing the physical jobs behind them."
"I reckon we're 1.8 to 2 litres a cow a day better off...(the cows are) getting fresh feed more often and timid cows get more chance to get fresh feed as it's going in 10 to 12 times a day."
