Intensive calf feeding lays the perfect foundation for healthy, high-performance dairy cattle herds. Supplying calves based on their needs has a lifelong positive effect on vitality, fertility and output as well as the service life of the later dairy cows. An automatic feeding system can save valuable working time while simultaneously ensuring the genetic potential of the animals is fully exploited.
HOW IT WORKS
The automatic feeder mixes the portions at the optimal feed temperature, supplies the connected feeding boxes in the calf groups around the clock with freshly prepared feed and reliably monitors feeding. Depending on the model, fresh milk, milk replacer feed or both can be administered. The electronic animal identification feature identifies each calf when it enters the feeding box, which allows the automatic feeder to supply each calf with the optimal feed quantity, based on its age and the set feeding plan. Automatic animal identification additionally protects calves from overfeeding and enables the precise portion size consumed by each calf to be linked to each respective calf. All key information can be accessed at any time.
COMPACT
The COMPACT automatic feeder makes it easy to get started with professional calf feeding. The COMPACT can supply fresh feed to up to 50 calves at two feeding stations, making it ideal for smaller farms. The COMPACT is available for use with milk replacer only, or as a combination version capable of feeding both fresh milk as well as milk replacer.
