BECAUSE EACH CALF COUNTS ^ t «vlr y

RECONCILING ECONOMY, ECOLOGY AND ANIMAL WELFARE. Just as children are the future of a society, calves are the future of dairy farms. The milk yield of cows is shaped by feeding when calves are young. This has been scientifically proven. For the future, society demands sustainability in all dimensions. More than ever, economics for dairy farms, ecology and animal welfare must be reconciled. This is our common task. Förster-Technik has recognized that for a successful and accepted agriculture each calf counts. With a modern and practical product range, Förster-Technik supports calf farmers worldwide...

From birth to single housing, pair housing, group housing and high-performance cows, Forster-Technik accompanies dairy farms with scientifically based feeding concepts, the most innovative feeding technology and precise health monitoring, which can be configured individually for all farm sizes and types of housing.

HEALTH MONITORING FOCUSING ON CALF HEALTH FROM BIRTH. Calves are very sensitive in the first weeks of life, so their health is a major challenge on many farms. Förster-Technik offers proven systems for colostrum administration and then automatic feeding to give calves the necessary foundations for healthy growth. From the data provided by the automatic feeding systems, noticeable patterns can be immediately identified to provide hints to health problems. This is supplemented by comprehensive 24/7 activity monitoring with the Smart Neckband, or completely taken over if no feeding technology is...

The unique Smart Neckband combines health monitoring via activity measurement with direct indication of problems via the LED. Thus, your animals are a lways in focus 24/7, even wit ho ut a feeder. Warnings are simply transmitted and displayed by flashing. And, should animals be searched for, this is no longer a problem even in large herds with the two-color LED: The Smart Neckband shows you the way.

COLOSTROMAT /-MAX Depending on the model, two or four ColostroBAGs can be rotated in a water bath and pasteurized quickly and gently at 60°C for 60 minutes. This effectively reduces bacteria, but the important antibodies are retained. After storage, even deep-frozen ColostroBAGs can be quickly and easily brought back to drinking temperature thanks to the strong heating power. COLOSTRUM MANAGEMENT COLOSTROFIT. HEALTHY CALVES FROM THE VERY FIRST HOUR. Calves are born without antibodies in their blood and are defenceless against the germ load of their environment. Only the colostrum of the dams...

COMFORT CADDY With the handy Comfort Caddy, you can carry the ColostroBAG like a backpack. The practical carrying aid with back strap ensures that you have both hands free when caring for your new arrival.

MANAGED BY THE VARIO FEEDER The CalfRail is supplied with milk from the VARIO feeder, even in combination with group stations. Thus, all functions such as fresh milk feeding and all modern management options are also available for the CalfRail. MORE FEEDING. ALSO IN INDIVIDUAL AND DOUBLE PENS. Vital calves need to be fed 4-5 times a day during the first weeks of life in order to produce maximum milk yield later on. This is inefficient in individual housing with previous feeding methods and far too labor-intensive. With the CalfRail and CalfRail DUO, there is an automatic solution for all farms...

CALFRAIL DUO: IT TASTES BETTER IN PAIRS. Calves develop even better when they are not alone in a box, but are in a double box with another calf. This is confirmed by numerous studies and practical farms. With the CalfRail DUO, two calves in a double box can now be fed automatically via two teats at the same time. Because it tastes better in pairs!

MILCHMOBIL. MORE OF EVERYTHING. CAN BE CONFIGURED TO FIT EVERY FARMS Tank sizes of 120 l, 200 l and 300 l are available in a pushed or pulled design, depending on the model. With AMS-Cool or even pasteurizing option - the MilchMobil can be individually configured to suit every comfort demand and every farm size. The milk trolleys make calf feeding easy.

The MilchMobil PRO sets...

After each dosing out, the next...
