Customised rations for each group

Lactating cows have different nutritional requirements compared to dry cows and youngstock, and dry cows vary in their needs depending on their stage of progression. Ideally, a specific ration should be calculated for each group to achieve the best results. Automatic feeding makes it possible to load, mix and distribute small batches for small animal groups.

Ensure precise loading of the ration

Feeding a precise ration starts with the loading of the feed components. The more exactly they are weighed, the more accurately a group of cows can be fed. Through smart and specific software, automation makes it possible to load the correct weight per feed component very precisely. This ensures a well-constructed ration. Every day, regardless of how often you feed the cows.

Feed frequently and fresh

Frequent feeding leads to a stable pH level in the rumen and good rumen health. A cow gets more than half of its energy requirements from fatty acids left over from fermented carbohydrates. If the pH level in the rumen is low, these micro-organisms become ineffective. Multiple smaller meals per day keep pH levels stable, which means cows use the feed they eat more efficiently.

Lely Vector

Automatic feeding is ready for you

Increase the efficiency and profitability of your feed strategy by feeding your cows more often. More frequent feeding stimulates frequent eating day and night, which means cows ingest more fodder. This has a positive impact on animal health, fertility and production, and also benefits your bottom line.

Lely Juno

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.

Lely Cosmix

Concentrate feeder for cows that deserve a little more

Higher milk yield, improved rumen health and efficient feeding: you get all of these with the Lely Cosmix. Every cow gets the portion of concentrate that it requires. The Lely Horizon management system provides insights into the concentrate intake and helps improve the health of your animals.

Lely Calm

For optimal growth and development from calf to dairy cow

Reduce the breeding period and stimulate the calf’s development into a strong, healthy and high-yielding cow with the Lely Calm. This automatic feeder supplies milk at the right temperature and provides insights into the milk intake of each calf.
