However, labour availability often limits you from providing cows with fresh feed 24 hours per day. The Lely Juno feed pusher provides a solution. Based on the proven technology of the Lely Discovery mobile barn cleaner, the Juno drives automatically over the feed alley by following the feed fence. It pushes feed towards the fence as often as required without disturbing the cows. The Juno is an easy-to-install, stand-alone machine. It requires no additional facilities or modifications to the barn. This makes the equipment suitable for almost every type of farm, according to Lely. The Juno contributes to the welfare of the herd by stimulating the cows to approach the feed fence more often. Cows have a better dry matter intake and the herd is calmer and more at ease. Low-ranked animals also get sufficient access to fresh feed. The Juno in combination with the Lely Astronaut robotic milking system shows a more consistent visiting behaviour to the robot day and night, resulting in even more efficient use of the Astronaut. The feed pusher saves time and gives farmers the flexibility and freedom to devote their energy to other tasks.
