Easily feed to yield, body weight or stage in lactation!

In automated parlors feed control can be connected to the parlor management system easily utilising its in-built high speed communications interface. Interfacing with the Milk Manager Software offers many advantages as feeds may be calculated easily and dispensed automatically. Feed amounts may be calculated based on user defined feed levels, feeding to yield, body weights or stage in lactation.

Appetiser feeding… Speeds up milking!

One of the most interesting features of the Dairymaster automated feed system is appetiser feeding. As each cow enters the parlor a small amount of feed is dispensed to the cow which encourages fast loading. When the unit is being attached the remainder of her allocated feed is dispensed, this usually results in a more content cow when the cluster is attached. Scientific trials have also shown higher levels of oxytocin are present when cows are fed during milking.

The out of parlor Feed Manager is an add on module of the Dairymaster Milk Manager to easily control out of parlor feeders.

Accurate distribution of feed…

The system uses data already in the Milk Manager for determining the amount to feed each cow. Feed amounts may be calculated based on user defined feed levels, feeding to yield, body weight or stage of lactation. The dispensing of this feed may be distributed over different feeding periods throughout the day. The benefit of this approach is that cows generally consume their total allocated feed and unconsumed feed is distributed throughout the remainder of the day.

Out of parlor feeders allow feeding to be controlled accurately and conveniently. Since feed is one of the main inputs on farm it is of utmost importance to use your feed efficiently and effectively.

Energy is important & costs are increasing all the time…

Milk cooling can amount to 40% of farms energy requirements and with energy costs increasing dramatically, Dairymaster have designed and engineered an energy efficient and reliable milk cooling tank that is better for your milk and better for your pocket.

Better & quicker wash system!

Dairymaster have applied technology from Pharmaceutical Grade testing, to optimise the cleaning process to give you confidence in your tank. The powerful, high capacity wash pump ensures a quicker wash all at the touch of a button.

Protecting your investment…

The Dairymaster SwiftCool Milk Tanks have 20% thicker insulation and thicker steel as standard, resulting in less heat loss. In recent tests the heat loss in a 24 hour period was less than half a degree. Less heat loss results in bigger savings!

Instant communication with your tank, anywhere, anytime!

The SwiftCool CoolControl system allows you to communicate directly with your tank wherever you are via SMS messaging for your peace of mind. The continuous monitoring and reporting allows instant access to information on the current status of the tank while two-way SMS communication provides immediate control.

Examples of communication and intelligent control:
  • Following milk collection the system recognises that the empty tank should be washed.
  • If washing is not activated within a set time an alert is sent via SMS.
  • Following a partial milk collection the system recognises that there is still milk in the tank.
  • If cooling is not restarted manually it will be automatically restarted and an alert sent via SMS.
