Robotic milking systems, also known as Automatic Milking Systems (AMS), are systems of technology that allow for voluntary milking, meaning the cow has the ability to set its own milking schedule. Robotic milking systems also have the ability to record data on the milking frequency and milk quality, allowing dairy producers to make informed decisions on better herd management, nutrition and health.
DeLaval voluntary milking system offers you a way of life not commonly found using traditional milking methods. Thousands of families have already handed over the heavy chores of milking to a DeLaval VMS and they now enjoy a more flexible lifestyle.
A modern effective milking parlour will increase your profits, allow better milk hygiene, improve udder health, and reduce labour costs. Stalls that are 15-20 years old no longer meet modern standards or demands for cow traffic. Improved cow positioning, operator safety and access to the udder are extremely important benefits of modern parlours. The 3 main Parlour types are:
Herringbone
The herringbone milking system is one of the most labour effective batch milking parlours available today. It offers high throughput and efficient labour usage by promoting calm, harmonious cow traffic. Different levels of control are available. You can automate the entire operation or select parts of it for this purpose.
Parallel
There are many advantages to the Parallel Parlor:– A complete, fast throughput system for secure and profitable production– Different levels of automation for selected parts of the milking operation– A wide range of customizing options
Rotary
Rotary parlours are labour efficient milking parlors for dairies requiring a high cow throughput per hour. Cows are very calm and the milking routine is the same for every cow, every day. There are 2 main types of Rotary Parlors that Tristar supplies; External Parallel Rotary & the Herringbone Rotary

Self-propelled feed mixers or self-loading silo feeders, all with the best mix quality. For every dairy or livestock farmer we offer the perfect feeding solution.
Automatic feeding is a major step for many cattle farms. That said, automation is becoming increasingly important on modern dairy farms to allow for efficient and profitable milk production. In particular, the ability to feed several times per day has a positive impact on the feed conversion ratio. Research shows that a higher feed conversion ratio is the basis for improved overall condition and health of the cattle, resulting in a higher milk yield, better fertility and animal health
The automatic feeder for calves is the heart of an automatic feed system. It mixes the portions, supplies the calves around the clock with freshly-prepared calf feed and reliably monitors feeding. At the connected, the calves are identified via a collar transponder or electronic ear tag, and individually fed with fresh calf feed according to their needs. You decide how much your calves can feed and whether to feed them fresh milk or milk replacement. Create your own feeding plan. The automatic calf feeder reliably records the feeding behavior of your calves, providing you with a comprehensive overview of all your animals at any time. Benefit from robust, healthy cows and structure your work day as you wish, independent from feeding requirements!
The feed pusher robot is a great help during the day, but at night it really comes into its own. While you enjoy a good night’s sleep, the robot automatically pushes the roughage. As a result, the lower ranking cows can also access fresh feed 24/7. This reduces selection and helps to reduce tension in the herd as the animals know that feed is readily available whenever they want it.

Cooling milk is one of the largest energy consumption activities on dairy farms. Energy use can be considerably reduced by pre-cooling the milk. With a plate cooler, the milk is cooled before it flows into the milk cooling tank. By installing a properly-sized Mueller plate cooler, you can save up to 50% on the energy costs of your cooling process. This shortens the time for cooling and increases the efficiency of your milk tank.
