Wieringen, a former island at the top of the province of the North-Holland, is home to the Klaver family\u2019s dairy farm. Together with their children Anna, Bram and Lisa, who are studying, Niels Klaver and his wife Marga keep the farm running smoothly. That\u2019s quite a challenge with 200 dairy cows to take care of, which is why the couple are so happy with their latest acquisition, the Moov 2.0 from JOZ. This feed pusher robot makes their work much easier and helps maintain calm in the barn. Niels explains how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With or without a subsidy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1996, Niels Klaver\u2019s dairy farm had just 60 dairy cows and 40 hectares of land. Today, 200 dairy cows graze on more than 150 hectares of land, which means there\u2019s plenty of work to do. It\u2019s no surprise that Niels was keen to purchase the Moov feed pusher robot, as it makes his work so much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018We applied for a subsidy for the robot at the beginning of last year,\u2019 Niels explains. \u2018Unfortunately, the ministry had allocated all the available funds by the time we applied, which meant we didn\u2019t get the subsidy. We eventually decided to pay for the feed pusher robot from our own funds at the end of last year. I\u2019m glad we did. When I see how much time the robot saves me, it will probably have paid for itself in just two years.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crowded at the feed fence<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why did Niels buy a feed pusher robot? \u2018It was always too crowded at the feed fence,\u2019 he explains. \u2018That\u2019s not really a problem during the day, because you can push the feed closer to the fence. But it is a problem at night, because there\u2019s never enough feed. The lower-ranking cows have even less chance.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018When we still pushed the feed with the tractor, it was always really busy at the feed fence in the morning. That has completely changed since we started using the Moov. The cows stay lying down peacefully as the robot pushes the feed; they know there will always be more than enough to eat. The cows eat more feed and it\u2019s wonderfully calm in the barn. That\u2019s great for everyone: for us and the cows.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automation and convenience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Niels, the convenience of the Moov is very important. \u2018It might seem like a small saving, I mean, what difference does 20 minutes a day make? But we really need those 20 minutes. Although the children help out when they are not away studying, the two of us still do most of the work. Every minute counts, and the Moov really reduces our workload.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Niels doesn\u2019t believe that automation always makes your work easier. \u2018After all, you often end up spending your time checking that it\u2019s working properly. With the Moov 2.0, you don\u2019t waste much time keeping an eye on the robot, because nothing needs to be checked. Apart from cleaning it every now and then, it waits quietly in the corner of the barn until it\u2019s time to start its round. You don\u2019t notice the Moov working and you don\u2019t need to tell it what to do.\u2019

\u2018If the Moov encounters an obstacle, it starts by retreating slightly and reorienting itself,\u2019 Niels explains. \u2018It then tries to restart its round. It succeeds 9 times out of 10. In my opinion, the transponder technology works really well. The Moov doesn\u2019t need to be in a certain place to move, as it follows transponders in the floor. This means it can easily return to its normal route if it encounters an obstacle or unexpected situation.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sturdy robot<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Niels believes the Moov 2.0 is tougher than other feed pusher systems. \u2018We specifically chose a sturdy robot. In other words, a system that doesn\u2019t just stop if it encounters larger amounts of feed. Our barn has a 3+1 layout, which means it\u2019s important that the robot can handle large quantities. The feed mixing truck often pushes out more than 100 kilos of feed, or even up to 150 kilos.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018We understand that the machine can\u2019t continuously move so much feed, but it is more than capable of dealing with larger quantities every now and then. When the robot does malfunction, it\u2019s usually our own fault.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect of the Moov 2.0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Niels\u2019 opinion, the Moov 2.0 has had a major effect on the Klaver dairy farm. \u2018When you start using this feed pusher robot, you notice an effect on the rumen fill, the health of the cows and the milk yield. They are all related, which makes it good for the cow and for the farmer.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
