What Are Your Operational Goals?
Increase Your Farm’s Profit
Leedstone can help you save costs, increase your herd’s production potential, and improve your cost-per-hundred-weight (CWT) with robotics in 3 key areas:
Optimizing Feed Cost
Minimize overfeeding some cows & underfeeding others—and improve income-over-feed cost (IOFC).
- Unique feeding to each cow’s production.
- Partial Mixed Rations (PMR) help reduce the potential of overfeeding typically seen in Total Mixed Rations (TMR) by as much as 10%.
- Robots feed up to 20% of a cow’s daily production with pellets, grain mixes & home-grown feeds. From a minimum of 2 to 3 lbs/cow/day to as high as 22 to 25 lbs/cow/day—if she earns it, she gets more!
- Our XL solutions focus on income over feed cost, maximizing production while controlling feed expenses.
ROI—How much are you currently spending on feed? We can compare to that of robots.
Have Healthier Cows & Reduce Replacement Cost
Maximize your cow’s genetic potential and reduce related replacement and comfort costs.
- Robots and free-flow cow traffic can maximize your cow’s genetic potential and reduce related replacement costs.
- Calmer environment, lowering cow stress levels, and supporting subsequent benefit opportunities, such as:
- Improved pregnancy rates
- Better cull rates
- Longer lifespan, extra lactations, added offspring
- Raised potential for lower 1/3 (timid) cows
- Potential to lower expenses of veterinary care, and other health related costs.
- Enhanced management of cow data (rest/eat/milk).
- Our XL solutions enable each cow to follow her internal clock for milking, eating, resting to maximize your farm’s profit goals.
ROI—We can calculate your current costs vs the capital investments for A5 robots.
Labor & Cost Optimization
Reduce the manpower needed for milking—and save substantially on labor costs.
- Our XL solutions significantly reduce work hours needed per day compared to conventional milking.
- We typically see labor needs reduced 40 to 60% with robots
- Offers reduced labor & management costs
- Robots offer you the means to meet your goals for a lean & efficient workflow.
ROI—Ask us to compare your current cost-per-milking to what it costs to operate the A5s.
