Thanks to the excellent customer feedback from the market, GEA engineers were able to bridge several of these hurdles and launch the GEA DairyFeed F4500, an autonomously driving feeding robot that mixes and distributes the feed, pushes it towards the cows and enables fresh feed intake for all cows all day long while minimizing feed losses. For dairy farmers this comes with several advantages, such as healthier cows, higher milk yields, more flexibility by freeing up time from routing work and easy implementation of the system without any reconstruction work on the farm.
Tras la instalación del robot de alimentación de GEA, la producción de leche pasó de 28 a 36 litros por vaca y día. Ya no hay competencia en la mesa de alimentación entre las vacas, incluso las novillas tienen fácil acceso a pienso fresco, ofreciendo la oportunidad de prepararlas para expresar todo su potencial de producción de leche. - Clémence & Luc Poussier, Francia

One trend in dairy farming stands out over the last several decades: Increases in the milk yield per cow have doubled or even tripled in some countries. In Germany, for example, the number of dairy cows decreased from 6.4 million in 1990 to 3.9 million today. At the same time, milk production per cow on average has nearly increased by 50 percent. Fewer dairy cows are feeding many more people, and this is largely because of advances in breeding, cow health, feeding and overall efficiency on the farm.
Scientific research shows a clear connection between cow milk production performance and feeding strategies. Parameters such as feed frequency, animal grouping, feed and mixing quality make the difference between average production rates and exceptional ones. The positive impact: Good feeding strategies will immediately result in a reduction of GHG emissions per animal. Increasing the milk production per cow is considered a powerful strategy to lower greenhouse gas emissions per kilogram of milk produced.
Model calculations show that increasing milk production can have a positive impact on GHG when the handling of the complete farm product (milk and beef) is taken into consideration. The example calculation indicates a drop from 9,578 to 7,689 kilograms CO2 per cow and per year with an increase in a cow’s milk production from 6,000 to 8,000 kilograms milk a year. This reduction in CO2 emissions is basically driven by the reduction of enteric fermentation, manure and soil N2O.
Antes pasaba mucho tiempo alimentando a mis vacas, pero ahora, con el robot F4500, es mucho más fácil. Puedo ofrecer raciones específicas para cuatro grupos diferentes, desde novillas hasta vacas, con una inversión mínima de tiempo. - Johannes Nickel, Alemania
