Services
Herd Management Systems
Our herd management systems streamline dairy operations through automated headlocks and restraint solutions. Designed for concrete feed pads and freestall sheds, these systems reduce feed wastage by up to 25% while enabling efficient veterinary care and herd monitoring. Australian dairy farmers benefit from improved cow flow and simplified drafting processes.
Effluent Management Systems
We offer Express and Ultra effluent systems that separate liquid and fibrous materials for sustainable waste management. The Express system handles up to 400 cows, while the Ultra system supports 300-2000 cows with automated cleaning. Both systems eliminate pipe blockages and facilitate irrigation or recycling of liquid components.
Feed Pad Equipment
Our feed pad equipment includes self-locking headlocks that allow cows to feed at their own pace while minimising waste. The system enables individual cow restraint for treatments without disrupting herd flow, improving safety and efficiency during veterinary procedures and AI programs.
Hoof Works Crush
The Hoof Works Crush provides secure cow restraint for hoof trimming and veterinary procedures. Features include self-locking head bails, rear leg lifters, and winch-operated belly slings. Constructed with corrosion-resistant materials, this Australian-made equipment ensures operator safety and compliance with OH&S standards.
Self Locking Headlocks
These headlocks allow individual cow restraint for treatments while maintaining feeding access. The system reduces stress by keeping cows in their familiar environment and enables efficient tasks like AI, vaccinations, and health checks without disrupting herd dynamics.
