Two of the biggest factors in maximising production are what you feed and how you feed it.
Farmlands Nutrition has the WHAT covered, with a team of Nutrition Specialists New Zealand wide, who’ll work with you to create a feeding plan that works, based on your budget and nutritional needs. While REL Group can focus on the HOW, with a ProFeed System that’s fully automated, customised to your existing Rotary or Herringbone set-up, and quick to install.
ABOUT THE REL PROFEED SYSTEM
Researched and developed on-farm, REL’s ProFeed in-dairy feeding systems are designed to improve production and stock health through all seasonal and nutritional demands. ProFeed feeding systems are precise, hard wearing and loaded with practical user-friendly features.
ProFeed feeding systems are easily installed into new and existing rotary and herringbone dairy sheds. REL’s all-inclusive service combining custom design, in-house manufacture, direct importation, installation, commissioning, operator training and after sales support will deliver a long lasting, turnkey solution for your dairy operation.
Rotary Feeding System
A typical ProFeed system comprises one or more storage silos and feed lines, grain crusher, crushed grain silo, additives hopper, coreless auger delivery system and continuous stainless-steel trays. All ProFeed systems are easily integrated with automatic Cow ID systems in rotary dairies.
Herringbone Feeding System
ProFeed’s Herringbone system works simply by the selected feed being transferred from the silo, into the dairy and filling individual dispensers on each side of the shed. When the cows come in for milking, a measured amount of feed is deposited in front of each cow on either side of the pit. While the cows are feeding, dispensers are automatically filled ready for the next row of cows.

Under this contract, Farmlands in turn guarantees that:
