The Dairy XL principles

The barn is no longer the place where milking happens, but rather where management happens. This is an important principle within our barn concept. With Dairy XL, we go to the next level in automated work on a dairy farm. We sit down together to look at how best to incorporate automation into your business. Our colleagues from Farm Management Support then help to achieve and retain that growth through your chosen automation.

More about Farm Management Support

Cows are central to automation and to adapting day-to-day routines. Their behaviour, health and lactation cycle are the guiding principles when equipping or re-equipping your dairy farm and work. This is further supported by all the information on your livestock in our management system Lely Horizon.

That is why our advice and methods of working are always based on three fundamental principles:

The cow has no time.
Work around the cow.
Increased efficiency through a focus on management.

This improves the end results. In terms of milk yield, and also for your dairy farm in general. More results with less effort.

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.

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.
