Juno- Robotic Feed Pusher- Ryan Langenkamp


Going along with my past blogs I did some more reseach on robots. I found that the Lely a company who makes the lely Juno which pushes up the feed for the cows every couple of hours. I think that this is a great idea coming from someone who worked at a dairy for one quarter at ATI and had to do night checks and push up feed after midnight. I think that this is a very cost effective investment for a dairy who does not want to pay or take the time to push up feed every few hours. Also this allows cows to have food always in their reach every couple of hours. This increases the consumtion of feed which leds to higher milk production levels. If you would like to see this thing work watch this video.
