Out of Parlour Feeding
Out of parlour feeding systems offer a flexible method of feeding dairy cows with concentrates and supplements. With the 'little and often' feed principle, the system should increase the cow's milk production and condition. Individual rations allow easy targeting of high yielders.
The system is available with either one or two feeders per stall and each stall is fitted with automatic identification technology. Cows are identified from their Allflex HDX ear tag and rations are dispensed as small, uniform portions to minimise unwanted feed and 'leftovers'. Many of the features are farm set, keeping you firmly in control.

Up to 12 feed and 3 non-feed periods in any 24 hour cycle - all farm programmable and may be changed at any time

Feeding Controls
Simple and easy to use the ATL range of electric feeder controls are designed to suit different sizes and types of milking parlours. Our controllers can operate the majority of feeders and as with all our control systems are designed to withstand the rigours of the milking parlour environment, with IP65 rated casings and large bright display LED's which are clear and easy to read.
Digital Feeder Control
Operates two feeders, left and right, on herringbone and abreast parlours, or the rotary feeder on a rotary platform. Just turn the knob to the desired ration and flick the switch to the left or right and the feeder will start to feed. Batch feeding is available as an option using the Master Feeder Control.
Auto Feeder Control
A simple and easy to use feeder control for use on herringbone parlours, the auto feeder control has 15 ration keys. As the cows enter the parlour, you simply press the appropriate ration key for that cow. The ration is then delivered to the correct stall because the Auto automatically sets the stall and the side. Just simply press one key press. The Auto also remembers ration keys that have been pressed so there is no waiting for a feeder to finish before another ration can be entered.
