Thinking about dairy farm automation? …. Are robotic milking, slurry scrapers and other automated livestock equipment the way
forward for your business?
There are a number of ways you can go automatic, whether it is robotic milking, computerised dairy
herd management, cattle feeding equipment or barn equipment such as slurry scrapers, livestock
ventilation units and cow brushes.
When considering what is right for you there are a number of things to consider. MYone from GEA Farm
Technologies is a web portal that provides you with useful guides on what there is to think about when deciding
to invest in all things robotic visit www.automaticmilking.co.uk for more information.
Automation is not just about an automatic milking machine but includes automated cattle feeding equipment
such as Mullerup, robotic slurry scrapers like the SRone, Lumitherm automated ventilation systems and herd
management tools such as CowView. This website not only looks at what is already out there but also what the
future holds with products such as DairyPro Q, the free stall robot for rotaries and herringbone parlours.
DairyPro Q
DairyProQ is the worlds first fully automated robotic milking cluster module that can be installed on conventional
milking parlours. It performs everything from teat preparation and preliminary milk sampling, up to the removal
of the teat cups and post-dipping. There is also intermediate disinfection of the teat cups and external cluster
cleaning between cows. Special needs cows can be milked on a semi-automatic, manual basis if required.
The rotary ranges from 28-80 stalls, with capacity to milk between 120 and 400 cows per hour. The system is
available in the UK, with current interest and predictions of the first installation in the next two years. A test farm
is up and running and the first one has been sold in Germany and due to be ready next year.
Watch this space for updates.

JACE Supplies install the new
GEA APOLLO milking system
Jeremy Platt Fields Farm, Middlewich
Cheshire installed a 30/30 GEA rapid exit
parlour ten years ago.
It was updated approximately 5 years ago
adding foot ID with heat detection and
also ADF was installed. In 2015 Mr Platt
decided to extend the parlour adding 10
extra units each side making a
50/50 parlour.
Stainless steel cabinets have also been installed to enclose the vacuum line, pulsators and ACR
rams, improving the overall appearance and general tidiness of the milking parlour, as seen in the
picture to the right where cabinets have been installed. The decision was also made to remove
the ADF system and install the new GEA Apollo cluster dipping & flushing system. The new system
has been running now for two weeks and Mr
Platt and his staff are extremely pleased with
the plant and the new GEA Apollo system.
For further information about the Apollo milking
system and stainless steel cabinets contact your
JACE Supplies team.
Foot baths are an important tool in the treatment and control of lameness in dairy cows. Ideally, foot baths should be at least 3m long and,
for the control of digital dermatitis, the foot-bathing solution needs to be at least 8cm deep.
From the agroserve range is a Peracetic acid based solution for foot baths:
* Rapid acting
* Broad-spectrum disinfection
* Added wetting agents
* Biodegradable and safe in use
* Economic – 1% dilution rate
