Efficient Feeding: More Milk, Less Workload

Promote the feed intake of your performance groups with fresh TMR rations, in small portions throughout the day. GEA Feeding Robot weighs, mixes and distributes the feed as you have planned and take over the labor-intensive feeding tasks from you.

GEA Automated Feed Pusher eases the workload, pushing the feed towards the feed fence at intervals chosen by you. If you want to additionally support your cow’s performance, the Automated Concentrate Feeder distributes the concentrate individually, precisely as it is needed in the lactation phase. In the youngstock area, the Automated Calf Feeders provide the calf milk and concentrated formulas necessary for healthy growth right from the beginning.

Efficient feeding is your key to achieving good milk performance of your herd!

Feeding Robot – Clémence Poussier & Luc Poussier

“After the installation of the GEA Feeding Robot, milk production jumped from 28 to 36 liters per cow per day. There is no longer competition at the feeding table between the cows, even heifers have easy access to fresh feed and the opportunity to prepare them to express their full milk production potential."

Feeding Robot – Johannes Nickel

“I used to spend a lot of time feeding my cows, but now, with the F4500, this has become much easier. I can offer specific rations for 4 different groups from calves to cows with a minimal investment of time. Milk production has increased by more than 2 liters per cow per day since we switched to automated feeding."
