The Dairy XL team work to three simple principles
These principles are a tried and tested formula to help improve outcomes for your business.
Here at Lely, we believe that spending less time organising and resourcing milking means more time available for effective farm management. At Dairy XL, we aim to be at the forefront of industry thinking. We sit down with you to look at how best to incorporate automation into your business. Our colleagues from Farm Management Support then help to realise the full potential of your farm automation decisions.
The natural way to milk
An increased milk yield and overviews whenever and wherever you want them: automatic milking makes it all possible. The milking system collects data per cow on milk production and cow health. This alerts you on time to any changes, allowing you to devote your attention to the cows that need it most.
Flexible fresh feeding
Get better returns from your feed strategy by giving your cows fresh and well-mixed rations several times a day. Without it costing you any more time. The Lely Vector minimises labour, feed costs and fuel and provides fresh feed for healthy and productive cows.
Increasing feed intake has never been easier
The Lely Juno takes over the repetitive work of pushing the feed multiple times a day. By pushing feed regularly, it is always within the cows’ reach. Every cow, even those lower in rank, can eat the roughage it needs for optimal rumen health and growth.
Flexibility and well-being for yourself and your cows while at the same time producing high-quality milk. That is what our barn concept offers. From milking to feeding and from care to barn lighting.
