Case Study: Tefen’s Dosing Solutions for Managing 1400 Free-Ranging Dairy Cows in New Zealand
The Challenges: Managing a Large Herd of Free-Ranging Dairy Cows in New Zealand
John Titter, a dairy farmer from Southland, New Zealand, manages a herd of 1400 free-ranging milking cows. With such a large operation, he faced several challenges, particularly in maintaining proper hygiene and providing consistent mineral supplementation for his cows. These elements were crucial for both milk production and herd health, especially in his herringbone milking sheds.
The Problem: High Costs and Unreliable Equipment
John was previously using expensive and unreliable dosing pumps to manage these tasks. The pumps often malfunctioned, resulting in increased maintenance costs and inefficient management of hygiene and supplementation. John needed a reliable, cost-effective solution to improve his operations and ensure the cows received proper care.
The Solution: Tefen’s MixRite Dosing Pumps
In collaboration with MixRite New Zealand, John replaced his old dosing pumps with Tefen’s MixRite dosing pumps. These pumps provided an automated, reliable solution to the key challenges in John’s dairy farming operations.
