Automate calf feeding with Lely Calm
Introduction
For optimal growth and development from calf to cow
The Lely Calm helps dairy farmers achieve optimal growth and development from calf to cow through precise feeding, optimal hygiene, and reduced labour. Enjoy more flexibility in your daily routine and likely more milk in your tank when your calves become mature dairy cows. And thanks to the integration with Lely Horizon, full lifecycle management is enabled. This gives insight from calf to cow.
Calm USP's
Strong Start
Calves receive unlimited milk for the first 35 days of life, followed by a gradual reduction to promote roughage and concentrate intake, contributing to rumen health and cow vitality, fertility, and milk yield.
Optimal hygiene
The HygieneBox is designed for optimal hygiene through an automated two-step cleaning process. First, the teat is cleaned with fresh water every time a calf has drunk. Then, the system’s interior is cleaned with both water and detergents.
Easy use
The Lely Calm automates the daily routine of calf feeding and brings optimal hygiene. It also allows you to gain valuable insight through systems such as CalfApp and CalfCloud.
