The Benefits of Automatic Dipping and Flushing

When choosing sustainable milking equipment to future-proof your dairy farm, you’d want…

Consumables delivered on time

Nobody wants unused or unwanted consumables sitting around their farm, taking up space and getting in the way. With ADF you always have the consumables you need, delivered when you need them, meaning you will never run out.

Without wasted carbon emissions from transport

Those of us in the agriculture industry are increasingly encouraged to reduce our CO2 emissions to prevent the worst effects of climate change and global warming. As a result of delivering consumables only when they are needed, frequent deliveries to your farm are prevented, reducing your overall carbon footprint.

A product that uses less water

Saving water in farming methods can be hugely beneficial for the environment, both locally and globally. Unlike traditional back-flush systems which flush the whole of the milk line, the ADF System efficiently sanitises the parts that touch the cow – the milking liners – significantly reducing water wastage by up to 15 times. The ADF System uses just 300ml of sanitised water per flushing cycle, which is the same amount as a standard drinks can.

A product that uses less chemical

Reducing your chemical usage helps to prevent contaminating the environment, meaning your farm is more eco-friendly. The ADF Automatic Dipping & Flushing system uses just 8ml of teat dip per cow, 2ml per teat, which is accurately applied to every teat, ensuring minimal chemical usage and optimal application.

A product that reduces the need for antibiotics

We all want to reduce the amount of antibiotics in the food chain. Timely dipping of teats prevents bacteria entering the teat canal and causing infections. The ADF System eliminates the risk of cross contamination by sanitising each liner between cows. This prevents mastitis and bacteria from being passed through your herd, reducing use of antibiotics.

A product that keeps your cows healthier

Healthy cows are a low cost to you and the environment. Using our Automatic Dipping & Flushing technology in your dairy reduces somatic cell counts and improves cow health, making it an eco-friendly solution for your farm.

Your cows to live longer & produce more milk

Improving cow longevity is another way that dairy farmers can improve your sustainability. Healthy cows are also efficient – they live longer and produce high lifetime milk yields with greater lactations. The longer a healthy cow remains in your herd, the more milk she will produce, earning more profits for your farm.

Balance the carbon emissions of your herd

Reducing carbon emissions is currently a hot topic amongst farmers. A mature cow will produce significantly less carbon emissions per litre of milk than a growing heifer. It’s basic maths that keeping the healthy mature cows in your herd makes sense, both financially and environmentally.

Better quality milk & less food waste

Best practices can help farmers to considerably reduce the amount of food waste we have. Poor quality milk needs to be thrown away which is bad news for farmers and the environment. However, with ADF you can lower somatic cell count and improve both milk quality and milk yield, generating you more revenue from selling larger quantities of quality milk.

Generate greater profits for you and your farm

When you have greater profits you are able to reinvest in your farm to support other areas of your business, including your regenerative farming methods. Now is the time to invest in your business to make it sustainable for the next generation of farmers.

Invest in your herd. And your future. And everyone’s future.
