“The DeLaval E100 Rotary has
been designed around the
customer’s and the animal’s
needs. It has been designed as a
complete milking system
focussing on cow flow, cow
comfort, efficiency and comfort for
the milker. Combined with
DelPro™ herd management
software it really offers the farmer
complete control of his herd
making it easier for him to make
management decisions. When
working in conjunction with the
unique DeLaval teat spray robot
(TSR™), it is incredibly labour
efficient when labour is becoming
increasingly challenging for dairy
farmers.”

Feed management a hot
topic at UK Dairy Day
Visitors to this year’s UK Dairy Day will have the
opportunity to find out how careful feed management can
help increase control of business performance.
s part of the
event’s technical
seminar line-up,
Ian Leach, supply
chain programme
director at Alltech,
will present on-farm strategies to
improve the level of feed efficiency,
focusing on increasing digestibility
and reducing contamination and
wastage.
“Feed is the biggest single cost
of production for most dairy units,
regardless of farm size or type and
therefore even small
improvements in efficiency can
have a dramatic impact on
business profitability,” said Mr
Leach.
“Rising feed costs, coupled with
uncertainty regarding the impact
of Brexit and the shape of future
support payments, means it’s
becoming more important for
producers to examine how they
can improve herd digestibility and
reduce feed waste on farm,” he
explained.

technologies gives producers the

efficiency and ultimately certainty

Zone at UK Dairy Day being held
on 12 September at the
International Centre in Telford,
