Lely Holding B.V. products

With the Lely Astronaut A5, you achieve optimal freedom of movement for your cows. With free cow traffic, the cows decide themselves when to eat, drink, relax or be milked. Features such as the hybrid arm and the I-flow concept contribute to the cows’ natural rhythm and increase the milking robot’s capacity. A healthy and stress-free cow means more milk in the tank.

With good insight into the health of your cows, you prevent illness and loss of production. The Lely Qwes cow-recognition system measures the most crucial information on each cow every two hours. This provides you with a good insight into the activity of the cows and allows you to know when you need to intervene.

Worldwide, challenges such as climate change, a growing global population and a more demanding society leads to new perspectives on how to run a viable dairy farm in the future. In addition, dairy farmers face the impact of reduced availability of quality labor alongside a supply chain which is under increasing cost pressure.

The automatic feeding system ensures that there is always enough fresh feed at the feed fence. Introducing the feeding system that saves time and accompanies the natural rhythm of your herd in every possible way. The Lely Vector delivers precise, tailored rations that provide your cows with the correct amount of the right feed 24/7. As a result, every cow has access to fresh feed appropriate to her unique needs, at the time that suits her.

Increasing your feed pushing frequency pays off – it stimulates frequent feed consumption throughout the day and night, resulting in a higher feed intake among your cows. This not only has a positive effect on animal health, but also improves fertility, production and your financial results.

By feeding according to cows’ requirements, rumen health improves and milk yield rises. The Lely Cosmix, along with the Lely Astronaut, ensures that each cow receives the portion of concentrate it needs. Cows that do not consume enough during milking, heifers and dry cows get their concentrates from the Cosmix. Thanks to the Lely Qwes cow-recognition system, the Cosmix knows precisely how much concentrate the cow is allowed to be fed at any given time.

Unlimited access to freshly prepared milk in the first 35 days of life pays off. Decreasing the milk supply gradually to zero in the next 35 days stimulates the intake of roughage and concentrates. This not only results in good rumen health. It also positively influences vitality, fertility, milk yield and lifetime as a dairy cow.

The Discovery Collector is specifically designed for barns with solid floors and takes a revolutionary diverse approach when compared to traditional manure scrapers. The Collector does not push manure, but vacuums it. This makes the build-up of manure – in which cows stand – a thing of the past. This not only makes for a cleaner floor, it also ensures the cows’ hooves remain cleaner. This improves both cow health and the well-being of the animals.

A clean floor prevents hoof problems and keeps tails and udders clean. Cows behave more naturally in a clean environment. As a result, heat is detected sooner. By keeping the barn clean and hygienic, cow health improves, as does the well-being of the animals.

Keeping animal welfare to optimum levels leads to happier, healthier and more productive cows. Cow health can be enhanced by proper skin care. The Lely Luna brushes the skin and stimulates blood circulation. This leads not only to a more relaxed cow but also a calmer herd.
