DeLaval feeding processor FP204X

	What is this?

Automatic concentrate and liquid dispensing to dairy cows – an automated feeding system that saves time and labour, improves feed efficiency by increasing the accuracy of ration delivery, saves money on cow feeding and is easy to operate.

Increased control increases profits

DeLaval feeding processor FP204X offers you the advantages of a computerized feeding system.

You can program the feed ration to follow the individual lactation cycle of each cow or of a group of cows. Each cow can be prepared individually for calving, and for peak lactation. Additional concentrate can be distributed in the ration adapted to the cow`s metabolic needs. The liquid dispenser can be used to give cows propylene glycol, to help prevent ketosis and raise milk production.

DeLaval FP204X will enable you to maximize milk production throughout the lactation cycle, controlling feed costs while maximizing feed efficiency. It will enable savings on feed for each individual cow. Your herd will get the right amount of feed at the right time, to maintain good condition and improve fertility.

Start-up costs are low and installation is a simple three-step process: connecting the desktop computer to a feeder by a cable and a connection box. The system is easy to operate, with a well lit display which shows information clearly. There is no need to remember or type difficult commands. Just make your choice in the menu and your DeLaval feeding processor FP204X will take you to the correct spot in the program.
