Voluntary Access Milking

Robotic Milking

Mackie's is the largest Astronaut milking robot farm in Europe. We have a voluntary access milking centre with 9 "robots" supplied by Lely Industries, Netherlands. It requires only 3 people to run the 500 cow herd. 5 robots milk the Jerseys and 4 robots milk the Holsteins
The system has been a revolution for our dairy herd, says Mac (Managing Director) and the overall milk production rose by 25% - which is also a good indication of the welfare of the cows. We were suprised at how quickly they settled into using the new machinery. They seem relaxed and we have had very few problems.
