DeLaval OptiDuo™ Robotic Feed Pusher
Don’t just push feed, remix it with DeLaval OptiDuo™, our most advanced robotic feed pusher. Instead of compressing feed, the robot remixes it - making it much more appetising for cows. Ideal for farms operating a once-per-day feeding frequency.
- Dual-action: repositioning and refreshing feed automatically
- Able to move big amounts of feed
- Operates safely
Key benefits
Automated feed pushing improves productivity
Regularly moving feed back onto the feeding table makes it more accessible to cows, but it doesn’t mean they will eat it. Optiduo™ automated feed pusher does twice as much to improve your productivity. First the robot remixes feed making it more appealing to cows, and then repositions it avoiding compaction; which means higher consumption and more milk.
- More frequent and higher feed intake
- More milk
- 24/7 feed availability
Increased work efficiency
Manually pushing feed is a time consuming task that will be a thing of the past. Because of this it is a job that sometime is skipped when things get busy. The OptiDuo™ robot is working 24/7, right on schedule.
- Saves time
- Reduces workload
- Adaptive Drive handles different feed types and volumes automatically
Improved animal welfare
OptiDuo™ automatically remixes feed and then repositions it evenly along the feed table. This leads to less sorting and a more even distribution of feed, which means less stress for low ranked animals.
- Cows visit the feeding table more often
- Better cow traffic
- Less competition at the feeding table
Less waste
Because previously sorted feed is not simply pushed back in front of the cow who rejected it, sorting is reduced and there is less feed wastage and less time is spent removing leftover feed waste.
- More appealing feed from first to last pass
- Handles different feed types
- Automatically adjusts for different feed volumes
Operates safely
The reliable of advanced navigation and the certainty of induction lines means that your OptiDuo™ will always be where you want it, with no unexpected movements. This certainty, when combined with advanced sensors that automatically stops the robot if it is obstructed by a person or animal and automatically restart only once the way is clear; have created the safest solution available.
- Reliable navigation system
- Automatically stops by safety sensors
- Automatically restart when safe
Also big piles and different types of feed
DeLaval OptiDuo™ is the only automated feed pusher with Adaptive Drive. Adaptive Drive means that your OptiDuo™ is able to adapt to different feed types and quantities.The robot will automatically adjust its speed and also change track where necessary, to ensure your cows are always presented with the best feed.
- Able to operate with larger feed piles
- Able to adjust to different feed types
- More flexibility means fewer stoppages
