Product Name FRESH MILK AUTOMATIC CALF FEEDER
Product Image fresh milk automatic calf feeder
Product Overview The Fresh Milk Automatic Calf Feeder is designed for professional dairy and beef calf-rearing facilities that require precise, animal-specific feeding with fresh or properly prepared whole milk.

Each calf is electronically identified when entering the feeding station. The control system checks its individual feeding entitlement and delivers a freshly prepared portion according to the programmed feeding curve. Whole milk can be used alone or combined with milk replacer according to the selected configuration and farm feeding strategy.

Automatic milk-line cleaning, individual intake recording, remote management and modular feeding stations help reduce routine labor while improving consistency in large-scale calf management.
Key Features
  • Fresh Whole Milk Feeding: Supports fresh or pasteurized whole milk according to farm hygiene and milk-management protocols.
  • Individual Calf Identification: HDX and FDX-compatible electronic identification links every feeding event to the correct calf.
  • Animal-Specific Feeding: Individual milk allowance, concentration and feeding curves can be adapted to age, development and management objectives.
  • EvenMilk Control: Whole milk and milk replacer can be combined in controlled proportions when milk availability varies.
  • Fresh Portion Preparation: Each ration is prepared on demand rather than relying on warm milk stored for long periods.
  • Multi-Station Operation: One central feeder can supply several feeding stations for efficient group calf housing.
  • Automatic Milk-Line Cleaning: Programmable cleaning cycles reduce manual sanitation requirements.
  • Two Cleaning-Agent Capability: Reference systems can use separate cleaning agents for optimized washing cycles.
  • Calf Intake Monitoring: Individual drinking activity and milk consumption are recorded for management review.
  • Remote Data Access: Wi-Fi and compatible calf-management software provide access to animal data, alerts and feeder status.
  • Frost Protection: Automatic cold-weather protection supports operation in demanding calf-house environments.
  • Expandable Configuration: Fresh-milk tanks, HygieneStations, weighing systems, additive dosing and additional feeding stations are available according to project requirements.
Structural Components
  • Central Feeder Unit: Contains milk preparation, dosing, heating, pumping and electronic control components.
  • Whole Milk Supply System: Connects a compatible refrigerated fresh-milk storage tank to the automatic feeder.
  • PowerMixer: Prepares milk portions and maintains consistent temperature and mixing when milk replacer or additives are used.
  • Milk Pump and Hose Network: Transfers milk from the central unit to the selected feeding station.
  • Automatic Cleaning Circuit: Rinses and cleans milk-contact components according to programmed cycles.
  • Feeding Stations: Provide controlled individual teat access within group calf pens.
  • Electronic Identification Reader: Recognizes HDX or FDX animal identification devices.
  • Control Display: Provides local access to calf records, feeding curves, alarms and technical parameters.
  • Cleaning-Agent Pumps: Meter cleaning agents into automated washing cycles.
  • Optional Fresh Milk Storage: Single-tank or dual-compartment refrigerated milk storage can be integrated according to project requirements.
Working Principle Fresh or pasteurized whole milk is stored in a compatible cooled milk tank and supplied to the central automatic feeder.

When a calf enters a feeding station, the electronic identification system recognizes the animal and checks its individual feeding plan, previous consumption and current milk entitlement.

If feeding credit is available, the system prepares or meters the required portion, controls milk temperature and delivers the ration through the milk hose to the teat. The quantity consumed and feeding activity are recorded automatically.

Where whole milk supply varies, the system can be configured to supplement milk with milk replacer in controlled proportions. During scheduled hygiene cycles, milk-contact lines and associated components are automatically rinsed and cleaned.

Product FAQ

Q: Can the feeder use fresh whole milk?
A: Yes. A whole-milk configuration can supply fresh or properly prepared whole milk from a compatible refrigerated storage system.

Q: Can it combine whole milk with milk replacer?
A: Yes. Combination configurations can supplement whole milk with milk replacer according to the programmed feeding strategy.

Q: How many calves can one feeder serve?
A: The standard reference configuration can serve up to approximately 100 calves with four feeding stations. Actual capacity depends on the system configuration and farm management.

Q: How does the feeder identify individual calves?
A: The reference identification system supports HDX and FDX electronic animal identification.

Q: Does each calf receive an individual feeding plan?
A: Yes. Milk quantity and feeding curves can be assigned individually according to calf age, growth stage and management objectives.

Q: Is automatic cleaning included?
A: Automatic cleaning of milk-contact components is included in the reference system, with additional hygiene options available for the feeding stations.
