Smooth start-up, happy cows, and kudos to our exceptional team of LC Southwest Victoria! #Innovation

You can successfully transition from conventional milking to robotic milking without incurring substantial expenses in constructing a new milking facility. A previous Herringbone shed was repurposed into a two-robot milking system with amazing results! #RoboticMilking #HappyCows

Robotic milking is on the rise in the dairy industry! Enhanced efficiency and labor savings are key drivers, freeing up farmers for other tasks. Cow welfare is prioritized with voluntary milking (Free Cow Traffic), reducing stress and promoting comfort. #RoboticMilking

One of the frequently asked question in grazing-based automatic milking system (AMS) is “Do cows move or get milked at night when they are taught to regulate themselves (Free Cow Traffic)?” Here is the video with the answer to this question: #milkingrobots #farminginnovators

Best of luck to Nangkita Dairy Farm in South Australia. A successful startup-6 new Lely A5 Astronauts milking 300 cows, using ABC grazing system. youtube.com/watch?v=n4oWcgZi…

A salute to hard working farmers. One of the reasons I enjoy farm visits. #Farmers #creativity #Cohuna

Day 1: Cows starting to settle into their new home.

Everything was done to high standards.

Impressive set up.

Best of luck to Clydevale Holsteins with the start-up of the 1st Automated Compost Barn System in Australia with 8 Lely Astronaut A5's. #Cohuna

Monitoring pasture grazing residual following, a morning or night allocation of pasture and modifying break widths is a useful management strategy to manage DM intake and diet quality.

@babatafi that 2.5 in 2012 is it 2.5 kg/per/cow/year????

Feed Formulation #Tip The generally high K content in ryegrass pastures contributes to a highly positive DCAD across all dairy regions in Australia. Milk-fever risk may be reduced by adding a mixture of anionic salts containing Cl and S to the dry-cow diet.

#Feeding Tip Appropriate feed testing of grazed pasture and conserved forage should be undertaken at least on seasonal basis to monitor changes in nutritive characteristics and mineral concentrations, so as to optimise dietary formulation for the nutrition of grazing animals.
