Mixer wagons

Optimizing milk production requires an advanced feeding strategy. The right feeding system is vital to produce a high milk yield and to ensure healthier cows.

Providing a well mixed ration makes it more difficult for cows to separate and sort the ingredients to pick out their favourite foods. Well mixed rations help the farmer to ensure that the cow eats the balanced feed, improving dry matter intake and stimulating higher levels of milk production.
