The optimum concentrate feeding system

2 | DairyFeed C – The right choice.

The right amount of feed at just the right time.The optimal feeding of each individual animal is theprerequisite for the healthy day-to-day life of the herd. DairyPlan C21 and out of parlour feeding stalls are designed to ensure that feed allocation is carried out according to the latest feed rationing techniques. Once the presence of the cow in the feeding stall has been detected by a Responder around the animal’s neck or a foot or neck Rescounter, DairyPlan C21 ensures that the animal receives its allotted amount of feed.

The dynamic timed feed allocation ensures the regular intake of rations throughout the day, even the animal visits the feeding stall at irregular intervals.

Preciseidentificationofeachcowinthefeedingstallis carried out by a Responder around the animal’s neck or a foot or neck Rescounter. Rescounters record the

cow‘s activity level which increases when the animal is on heat. Wether at home or on the road - the data can be retrieved on-site or with your mobile device!
