Feeding

Feeding is one of the biggest cost factors in dairy production. The optimization of the management of feeding is therefore a worthwhile investment - it helps to improve productivity and health while at the same time reducing the environmental impact.

DeLaval calf feeders

Profitable milk production is dependent upon healthy, high yielding animals. As today’s calves are tomorrow’s high performance cows, the way you rear them can make all the difference. Calves that are healthy and fast-growing will reward you by becoming high yielding cows that are productive for many years.

DeLaval mobile mixer wagons

DeLaval mobile mixer wagons blend balanced rations. These quality mixers give you optimum feed mixes and simplify its distribution to your herd.

Stationary mixers

Your stationary mixer is the heart of an automated feeding operation. Reliable, robust and hardworking, it saves you lots of time and heavy labour. Coupled with the DeLaval Optimat™ system you can get full automation that turns feeding from a chore into a fast process.

TMR / PMR is the trend

Feeding systems based on a total mixed ration (TMR) or a partly mixed ration (PMR) have increasingly become the chosen feeding method in milk production. Implementing TMR or PMR can reduce your labour costs, increase feed utilization, reduce digestive disturbances and provide more flexibility in feed ingredients in the ration. When well managed, all these factors together improve farm profitability by enabling you to control feed costs while maximizing milk production.
