Mix & Carry

Mix & Carry is the complete feeding system for large herds in loose housings. We believe in healthy animals through intelligent feeding. The Mix & Carry system opens up complete new options for fully automatic feeding of TMR to large herds. The system works on the principle of individual weighing-in, mixing and feeding several times around the clock the individual groups in the herd.

Great capacity
Outsourcing the different functions to various units results in unlimited capacity. The "Mix & Carry" system is able to feed large units with 250+ cows with several different freshly mixed mixings at different hours - totally automatically.

How Mix & Carry works
The different mixings are weighed-in and mixed in a central MVM mixer unit that is being filled automatically from different hoppers. From here a feeder transports the mix to the different feeding groups. If the unit is to big for one feeder, more feeders can easily be added into the system.

Mix & Carry weighs-in and mixes the individuel feed types immediately before feeding. Most farmers choose to also mix many times for each feeding group, i.e. only a small quantity of freshly mixed feed is dispensed each time. All this contributes to a significantly increased ad lib feeding and increases the animals' feed intake of large roughage quantities.  

Save time
With the Mix & Carry a large reduction in working hours is achieved in comparison with traditional feeding methods. Filling the system hoppers is a simple process and all groups can be fed as you like it - without any extra workload.  

Higher feed efficiency
A correct feed composition is crucial for a higher feed intake and yield. The Mix & Carry system enables the farmer to optimise and feed the correct mix of fresh feed accommodating the animals' needs in quantity, energy value and structure - thus achieving direct feed cost savings. 

Improved milk quality
Feeding with Mix & Carry means a clean feeding table. No soil from tractor wheels to contaminate the feed and with a lower risk of high spore counts an improved milk quality is possible.

Feeding table
The size of the feeder makes it very flexible. A narrow feeding table only 2 m wide is sufficient and that, of course, reduces construction costs in new buildings. On the other hand, the system can easily be integrated into the existing framework in cow houses with a wide feeding table. In most cases it will be possible to feed the whole unit, even though sections of unit are housed in older buildings with only little room. This means that in most cases "only" the young calves need to be fed manually.
