“With the new dispenser, the quality of feed preparation has improved significantly.”

"The work has become significantly easier and the quality of feed preparation has improved significantly. Previously, we used to distribute with a bale chopper. We needed 3 bales at a time. However, not all of them were the same - first, second grass. It used to be that when you distribute, those cows that are stronger get the tastier feed, and the others have what's left. Now the same feed is mixed evenly.", – says V. Raižys

"At first, the cows ran around, looking for food, but when everything was the same, we had to accept that wherever they stood, they ate. The distribution has two sides. On one side we keep the youngster tied up, on the other the cows are loose. You can also adjust the amount of feed released. The youngster needs less, so it can open less. We got used to working with the dispenser in a couple of days - how much to open, what speed to drive. We feed twice a day and it doesn't take an hour to feed 200 cattle. It eliminates a lot of manual labor and eliminates the human factor, because the further away you are, the harder it is to find people to work. And it really made the work easier.", – says V. Raižys
