Product Overview The Smart Calf Feeder with Health Monitoring combines automated liquid feeding with digital calf management for professional dairy farms and calf-rearing facilities.

The system provides each calf with an individually assigned milk allowance while maintaining consistent milk concentration and drinking temperature. Feeding behavior and intake data can be evaluated to help identify calves requiring attention, while remote access gives farm personnel a convenient overview of animal and feeder status.
Key Features
  • Automatic individual calf feeding around the clock.
  • Supports up to 100 calves with up to four feeding stations in the reference configuration.
  • Stable milk concentration for consistent nutritional management.
  • Constant drinking temperature controlled by integrated sensors.
  • Individual feeding plans support intensive and age-based feeding strategies.
  • Milk intake and drinking behavior provide useful health-management indicators.
  • Animal and feeder information can be accessed from the stationary controller or compatible mobile devices.
  • Automatic cleaning program reduces manual sanitation work.
  • Milk-contact components are protected to support improved feed hygiene.
  • Optional advanced health-monitoring and hygiene accessories are available.
Structural Components
  • Milk Powder Hopper: Large-capacity storage container for automatic milk-replacer dosing.
  • Powder Auger: Meters milk powder into the preparation system.
  • Heated Mixing Container: Prepares uniform liquid feed portions.
  • Integrated Boiler: Supplies temperature-controlled water for milk preparation.
  • Temperature Sensors: Monitor the preparation and drinking temperature.
  • Touchscreen Controller: Displays feeder settings, animal information and operating status.
  • Feeding Stations: Individual drinking positions connected to the central feeder.
  • Milk Delivery Circuit: Transfers prepared milk from the main unit to the teat stations.
  • Automatic Cleaning System: Cleans milk-carrying components according to programmed cycles.
Working Principle Each calf is managed according to an individual feeding program. When an authorized calf enters a feeding station, the control system determines its current entitlement and supplies the required milk portion.

The integrated preparation system maintains consistent feed concentration and temperature. Each feeding event is documented so that drinking frequency, milk intake and changes in feeding behavior can be reviewed by farm personnel.

Calves showing reduced intake or abnormal drinking patterns can therefore be identified earlier for closer inspection. Optional dedicated health-monitoring equipment can provide additional animal-health data.

An optional health-management module combining RFID identification with digital temperature recording can be integrated for more comprehensive calf-health documentation.

Feeding-station quantity, pipeline layout, electrical configuration and installation accessories are customizable and available upon request.
Installation & Maintenance
  • Install the main feeder on a stable and level floor in a protected service area.
  • Provide suitable potable water, electrical power and drainage connections.
  • Arrange drinking stations according to calf group size and pen traffic flow.
  • Protect milk lines, electrical cables and utility connections from animal access.
  • Verify milk concentration and temperature during commissioning.
  • Maintain sufficient milk powder and approved cleaning agents.
  • Run the programmed automatic cleaning cycles according to the operating schedule.
  • Inspect teats, hoses, pumps, sensors and seals regularly.
  • Keep the powder-storage area dry and free from contamination.
  • Inspect optional health-monitoring and hygiene equipment according to its maintenance schedule.
Product FAQ Q: How many calves can the feeder manage?
A: The reference configuration supports up to 100 calves with up to four feeding stations.

Q: How does the system support calf health monitoring?
A: Drinking activity and feed intake can be evaluated for individual calves and groups, helping personnel identify changes that may require closer inspection.

Q: Can body temperature or additional health data be recorded?
A: Yes. An optional compatible health-monitoring module can combine RFID identification with digital temperature recording and other animal-health information.

Q: Can the feeder be monitored from a smartphone?
A: Compatible controller and network configurations allow feeding, animal and machine information to be accessed remotely.

Q: Does the system maintain consistent milk temperature?
A: Yes. Integrated heating and temperature monitoring maintain controlled milk preparation conditions.

Q: Does the feeder clean automatically?
A: Yes. A fully automatic cleaning program is used for the milk-carrying system.

Q: Is additional teat hygiene available?
A: Yes. Optional hygiene systems, including automated teat sanitation solutions, can be integrated according to project requirements.

Q: Can the equipment be adapted to an existing calf barn?
A: Yes. Feeding stations, pipelines, utilities and accessories can be configured according to the existing livestock-building layout.
