Smart Feeder PLUS

Fully automatic concentrates feeding
Mullerup Smart Feeder PLUS feeders can relieve you of most of the feeding work in the tied-up cow house. Fully automatic and exact weighing-in and dispensing of individual rations of concentrates to each cow is the concept behind Smart Feeder PLUS that also manages stepping up and down of concentrates, electronic identification of the cows in the period of turning out to pasture and even takes into account the variable dry matter contents of the feeds. 

Smart Feeder PLUS is a series of computer and weight controlled feeders in three basic models with capacity of 300, 600, or 1000 liters, respectively. Smart Feeder PLUS feeders are mounted in a track wheel in a rail that is firmly supported by the building construction. So Smart Feeder PLUS moves easily around in the cow house. 

Loading of feeds takes place automatically when the feeder is at loading positions and anywhere along the rail. Manual loading is also possible.

Individual feeding
The enormous flexibility in Smart Feeder PLUS ensures that the cows are fed individually acccording to their needs. Smart Feeder is able to dispense up to 6 feed types many times per day. If too much or too little feed is weighed-out in one place, the computer will register this and correct for it at the next feeding in the same place.

A flexible tank system
Smart Feeder PLUS feeders are modular-built which ensures the flexibility to fit the feeder to the individual farm now and later in cases of changes in the farm. 

All Smart Feeder PLUS models have a flexible tank system making fitting of small tanks for e.g. minerals possible. Tank volumes can be as low as 30 and 50 liters and be modified if later needs make it necessary. 

The feeders are also available with special tanks for coarse or moist feeds, e.g. cut beet, moist rolled grain or maize kernels. MULLERUP also produces molasses dosing equipment consisting of a tank, pressure-controlled drip-free jets and a pump. 

Steady stepping-up
It is crucial that stepping up and down of concentrates is carried out with small quantities over a longer period.  That is why Smart Feeder PLUS has a built-in stepping up and down program in the hand-held PDA. The required quantity and period are entered into the PDA and then the feeder manages the stepping up and down process. 

Identification
By means of electronic identification equipment to the cows Smart Feeder PLUS also manages the feeding work in the period of turning out to pasture where the cows do not have fixed places in the cow house. 

Save time and energy
Instead of lifting several hundred tonnes of concentrates during the year it is with Smart Feeder PLUS only necessary to fill the hoppers in question. After filling the hoppers only feeding the young calves and milking the cows need to be done.
