Lely Discovery Collector C2 Targets Lameness Prevention
Source: The DairyNews
Earlier this year, Lely introduced its groundbreaking solution, the Discovery Collector C2, aiming to combat lameness in cattle with its innovative manure-collecting robot. Unlike traditional scraper systems that merely push manure along passageways, this advanced robot collects and transports manure to a collection pit, leaving floors cleaner and preventing cattle from standing in soiled conditions.
The key advantage of the Collector C2 lies in its vacuuming mechanism, which efficiently removes manure rather than dispersing it. By deploying this robot regularly, farmers can streamline manure collection, ensuring cleaner floors, hooves, cubicles, and udders, thus enhancing overall herd hygiene.
Operating autonomously, the Collector C2 utilizes water to thin the manure, facilitating its collection into the internal tank. Additionally, it sprays water behind to maintain a wet floor surface for improved traction. With its compact design and wireless charging capability, the robot navigates seamlessly across various areas of the farm, including sorting gates, cubicles, and waiting areas.
Unlike traditional scraper systems that rely on cables and pulleys, the Collector C2 eliminates the need for such infrastructure, offering a more efficient and flexible solution. Moreover, its cleaning program can adapt to the farm's daily routine, ensuring optimal performance and minimal disruption.
By promoting cleaner and safer environments conducive to free cow movement and comfort, the Discovery Collector C2 contributes significantly to reducing lameness in the herd, marking a significant advancement in modern cattle care practices.
