The installation of the Rovibec Ranger version two feed pusher at Caper Farms in Nova Scotia. The Ranger is not only durable, but incredibly safe as there are no open parts exposed such as an auger which could pose a danger for children and pets.

Upon the conclusion of the project, Caper Farms realized an increase in feed consumption, a decrease in feed refusals and an increase in overall milk production. It also has been incredibly helpful during weekends where farm worker levels are reduced.

A barn renovation that included removal of old milking parlour and the installation of a Boumatic MRS-1 at Breaview.

Upon the conclusion of the project, Breaview Farms had a new Boumatic MSR-1 robot milking their cows. The labourforce has been reduced and the time associated with milking has been drastically reduced.

This multi-phase barn renovation project started with an existing calf barn with single pens. The team at ATL Dairy completed a complete conversion with new pens and stalls allowing the calves to grow up in group housing with a new automatic parallel calf feeder. The Urban Calf Mom Alma Pro was the perfect solution. The Alma Pro has a capacity of four feeders and monitors feeding on a per calf basis. Tags record all analytics data and track feeding metrics for each individual calf, giving rise to a better calf environment and socialization, coupled with ability to monitor all nutrient intake. The addition of SPI waterers provide ideal conditions for the farms calves to grow and thrive.

At the conclusion of this project, the farm has a complete calf care system. Happier calves become happier cows that produce more milk regularly. New group living and conditions for socialization and calf comfort with precise feeding for each calf the project was a great success. We can’t speak for the calves themselves, but we feel that they are vary happy in their new home.
