Four Lely robots installed in Co Cavan

This state of the art four robot installation has been designed to milk 250+ cows with cow comfort a key priority of the design. The fully slatted shed will be kept clean by a Lely Discovery robotic scraper. Full farmyard design completed by our in-house experts at Lely Center Mullingar.

Great Video, thanks for sharing

[@muhammadaltaf4735]

Beautiful, best of luck .

[@dannybrazil3986]

Absolutely beautiful

[@notsofancyfarming]

Some investment. Best of luck to all involved.

Feed barriers and concrete panel should have been fitted to the slat side of the post to prevent dung buildup around the inside of the post. It also allows the scrapper to scrap nicely along the post area. Too many people fitting sheds make this mistake.

amazing...good work

[@mdsujan2000]

Very good

[@moshiuRahman]

what is the total cost of this farm?

[@mc666__]

This video is the product and how much does the machine cost

[@KhizarShahzadGhani]

Hi, how much space has been used and for how many animal?

[@mansouralharbi2861]

I need to ask about price of A5 for milking

[@dayanandgawade1840]

Is it available in India?

[@serkanbozdag2837]

where is the region thank you

[@jimgannon1917]

I’d say the bank manager,worrying, good luck 🍀 with it.

[@geniealgerien7613]

how much would a barn of the kind that you present in the video cost me? THANKS

[@PReilly-xl5wk]

Can yous please talk about d setting up and installation of this kinda setup

[@pring40]

Cause it gets so much cheeziar in life!

[@impression8073]

Hallo. Ich möchte den Preis für diesen Stall wissen und Sie können mir den Plan für diesen Stall schicken. Ich komme aus Algerien. Es ist ein großartiger Job. Danke.

[@JR-mv7uz]

6.000 euro a cow maybe even 8.000 euro

[@dayanandgawade1840]

What project cost for 50 cows?

[@denisreidy8106]

Farmers say 150 thousand to get single robot and setup going if different you may let me know

[@pring40]

Some operation building it😂😂😂😂😂

[@liamfanny9802]

How many cows is that guy milkin any idea?

[@nicofrick9575]

A5 are usually rated around 60-65 cows, so 240-260

[@richardwalsh1838]

After spending this kind of money why not galvanize the shed pillars and roof trusses to prevent rust in the future, extra cost is hardly a reason?!

[@conorcoulter7071]

Wouldn’t like to be paying for that no change out of a million I’d say

[@ek9772]

Why not? I estimate a cost per cow around $12,500 for the new barn. Suppose the cows produce an average of 1-gallon more per cow, and they can produce milk for one more year due to better living conditions: more space, better ventilation, better light, lower temperature fluctuations due to better insulation, greater comfort, and less stress. Add to this less health expenses due to hocks, fungus, mastitis, etc. at $100 per hour per additional vet visits once a week for six months per year. Add to this less expenses in 20-years for not building a new barn. This barn has milking robots which means at least two fewer people working in it every year. People usually work 12-hour shifts. This means at least 3,000 hours per shift per worker. At $15 per hour, this is $45K per worker, and for two workers this is $90K per year. So add $90K per year. Therefore: ($0.35-per gallon x 250 cows x 365 days x 7-years) + (10-gallons x $0.35 x 250 x 365) + ($100 per vet visit x 25-weeks x 8-years) + ($90K for fewer workers x 8-years) = $1,282,937 lower costs. This reduces the cost to $6,869 per cow. Every eight years, the same amount can be reduced again. In other words, the new barn will pay for itself in 16-years, and it will outlast many barns, and my numbers are erring on the side of caution. I actually think they will do better than this. How many barns do you know that can pay for themselves in 16-years?

@@ek9772 you’ve obviously never heard of the the likes of Siobhan Talbot, who do you think is paying the €9,000,000/year salaries.

[@francisjordan3660]

seems these are not investments but rather free money from europe

[@IrishFrank22]

Europe doesn't give one farm that much money.

[@kricsek]

Looks like too many cows in one group. And they have to walk too much to the robots. Would be better if the robots were in the middle, separating the herd in half into two groups.

[@robertcowden9484]

Very stupid decision not to put head lockers in the barn someone either trying to save money or someone who never worked with cattle

[@oghuzkhan5117]

for such a modern and new building? You are right. A big mistake

[@gregkoenig9200]

With this setup it will cut cows out when coming out from milking to do any health or breeding work by the cow managers request

[@rookiefarmer702]

There are self lockers up by the robots. We have the same idea as this in our barn. You can program the robots to route the cows to the sick pen for breeding or treating a sick cow.

I know how do dirty work.becauce grow up with line phone.l can do gut feeling about the nature.i have write a book about it.but don't know how put in a that doesn't sound stupidity . and lot of the books I ask my mom we should printed them because there are people that would want to read about it.thankyou
