COMPANY PRODUCTS ▶▶▶ Simple Feeding Management System – free of charge


Siloking, a highly specialised manufacturer of feeding technology, offers Feeding Manage- ment along with Siloking Data. With the free Feeding Management Software, rations can easily be handled through the comfortable management of recipes and re- lated feed components, animal groups, along with many other parameters. Furthermore, the software allows for plan- ning, documenting and evaluating key data, such as efficiency of basic feed and concen- trates as well as cost management – all with software that is easy and intuitive to use. After each feeding process, the data is easily transferred to the Feeding Management software via USB-stick or mobile networks to be used for optimising farm costs. All costs, for example of basic feed and concentrates per litre of milk, as well as the efficiency of feed and concentrates can be presented and evaluated in a transparent way. At the push of a button, the farmer can retrieve the key


data about the dairy herd. This makes docu- mentation for partners, such as dairies or others, easy. The interests and needs of agricultural farm- ers are always the focus for Siloking. Along with the current economic conditions and agricultural policies, the requirements re- garding dairy cattle farms are becoming more demanding all over the world. Modern


More feeding insights with automatic feeding


Automatic feeding with the Lely Vector offers dairy farmers more insights and control over their feeding process and results, by combining data from the feeding and milking systems.


Feeding strategy The management system provides strategic settings and long-term analyses summarised in clear reports, which helps users assess the efficiency and management of a feeding sys- tem. This is useful when discussing and plan- ning the feeding strategy with employees or consultants.


Daily use A smartphone app offers day-to-day control of feed management, and the ability to speci- fy and make rations, fill the feed kitchen or change the routes of the mixing and feeding robot. Key performance indicators provide re- al-time insight into the ingestion of dry mat-


ter and different feed quantities for the vari- ous groups in the herd, allowing farmers to adjust the feeding strategy to prevailing conditions every day.


Feed efficiency The management software can also create


feed efficiency reports. These reports give a clear picture of the relationship between the provided ration and milk production. By entering the costs per feed type in the system, farmers can optimise the ration based on margin, rather than kilogrammes.

feeding technology, especially feed mixers, must support future-oriented dairy cattle farmers in efficient farm management. Feed- ing is still the biggest cost factor in dairy cattle production and therefore offers high saving potential. Along with Siloking Feeding Management software, Siloking Data offers considerable savings through efficient cost control.
