GEA MIone – the future of automatic milking comes to Africa
This article has been supplied.
Orono Trading has just become the first dairy farm in Africa to install the state-of-the-art GEA MIone automatic milking system. This system can be configured with two to five boxes, and is ideal for medium to large herds. Orono Trading has installed two MIone systems with four boxes each at their farm in the Rayton area, just north of Johannesburg.
The systems will begin milking around 440 cows on June 1, 2016.The benefits of the system are manifold. With MIone, each step – from attaching, stimulating, cleaning, drying, pre-milking and milking, to the removal of each of the four individual quarters – is part of a calm, comfortable, stress-free milking process.
ID monitoring and guided pre-selection gates ensure even distribution of cows per milking station, which translates to perfect, stress-free throughput. Since all tasks can be controlled and monitored from one central management station, staff perform less tedious, repetitive tasks and are able to better manage the herd.
In short, GEA MIone is a cow-friendly system, which ensures not only improved milk production and optimal fertility, but also reduces stress and guarantees healthy, happy cows.
