INTRODUCTION
Your feeding strategy has a significant impact on your results
More frequent automatic feeding and feed pushing can have a positive effect on labour, animal health, fertility, production and finances. Our automatic feeding solutions tackle the tasks of frequent feeding and feed pushing to improve feed intake, which can result in healthier cows and more efficient production.
The basic principles of smart feeding
Feeding requires constant attention due to concerns about costs, the impact on animal health, and milk production. Our basic principles of smart feeding are designed to help you improve your feeding methods and make your daily schedule more flexible.
Frequent feeding
Multiple small meals per day keep pH levels stable, contributing to good rumen health and effective microorganisms within the cows rumen.
Tailored rations
Automatic feeding makes it possible to load, mix, and distribute customized batches of feed for each group.
Precise rations
Advanced software in our automatic feeding systems allows precise loading of the correct weight per feed stuff.
Saving labour
Automatic feeding systems are there to save you labour hours, which you can spend on other farm tasks or private life.
Plan, monitor and adapt
Precise feeding requires precise management
With precise management you need data to rely on. Insight that shows feed intake, milk yields and dry matter ingestion. This is where advanced management software starts playing a crucial role.
Planning
We understand a feeding strategy and its adjustments are a specialism. Therefore, this can best be done in collaboration with a feeding specialist or consultant. Besides, the Lely Farm Management Support experts are ready to help you. This way you can plan your strategy with a team of experts and find the best way to get the most out of feeding on your farm.
01
Monitoring
Once your feeding strategy is implemented you can start monitoring. A daily task that needs to be done precisely. Thanks to software we can monitor factors such as whether the cows are active enough to visit the feed fence, if the feed efficiency is at the right level, and how the rumination situation is. The more precisely indicators are set in livestock farming, the more accurate the data becomes on individual cows’ eating behaviour- providing valuable insights for the adjustment phase.
02
Optimising
Once your strategy is integrated and you are aware of the eating behaviour, you are ready for the next step: adjusting. All monitored data is visible in the management software. Data that tells you whether your feeding is accurate or it needs adjustments.
