The impact of udder health
Maintaining good udder health is essential for maximising milk yields, reducing costs, improving profit margins, and minimizing labour. By investing in effective udder health management practices and technologies, dairy farmers can ensure the health and productivity of their herds, leading to better overall farm profitability
Udder health management is a combination of clean floors, gentle milking, thorough cleaning, and post-milking protection. Lely’s Astronaut milking robot plays a crucial role in this process. It provides gentle milking, thorough intelligent cluster attachment, cleaning, and post-milking protection. The Lely Astronaut uses the ‘free cow traffic’ principle, allowing cows to be milked voluntarily and inline with their lactation cycle. Combining this with individual quarter milking ensures a cows udders are never too full and always emptied
