For efficient grazing
Grazeway
Introduction
Smart grazing starts with smart cow routing
The Lely Grazeway gives cows the freedom to graze while helping you stay in control. Integrated with the Lely Astronaut milking system, it automatically determines whether a cow can access pasture or should first visit the robot for milking. This helps support efficient cow flow, productive grazing and flexible farm management, while reducing the need for manual sorting.
USP's of the Grazeway
Seamless grazing and milking
Using Lely Tags, Grazeway allows cows to decide when to graze while helping ensure they visit the milking robot at the appropriate time.
Less manual sorting, more flexibility
Using the same gate design and technology as the Lely Astronaut, Grazeway integrates smoothly into your farm. Cow selection and separation can be managed through Lely Horizon, whether you're in the barn or out in the field.
Individual grazing management
Connected to Lely Horizon, Grazeway enables routing decisions based on individual cow settings and farm management preferences, supporting a flexible grazing strategy.
How it works
Automatic decisions for every cow
Cow identification
The cow is identified when entering the Grazeway using her identification tag.
1
Data check
Grazeway checks the routing information available for that cow.
2
Route selection
Based on predefined settings, Grazeway determines the appropriate destination.
3
Automatic routing
The cow is directed automatically to the correct location, such as pasture, the milking robot or a dedicated group.
4
Grazing
Designed for grazing systems
Grazeway is widely used in grazing farms where cow traffic needs to be managed throughout the day. By automatically directing cows between pasture and the milking robot, the system supports grazing strategies while maintaining efficient cow flow. Farmers can also gain insights into grazing frequency and duration through available system information.
