Individual feeding
SmartMix and SmartID help you prepare and dispense the right amount of milk and milk mixture required by each calf.
Simpler preparation
Errors can happen when preparing milk. The MilkTaxi puts an end to that, because it guides you step by step to the perfect mixture.
SmartMix calculator for CMR
From now on, you only need to specify the desired milk replacer (CMR) concentration (percentage of dry matter content) and your scoop size once. You then fill the MilkTaxi up to the required drinking quantity. SmartMix adds the necessary weight of the CMR automatically and tells you how many scoops of the CMR you need. Even the solubility of the CMR is taken into account, because 20 kg CMR dissolved in 100 l water is less than 120 l milk (namely 114 l). The MilkTaxi 4.0 automatically corrects this error.
Exact filling level display
The MilkTaxi automatically recognises how much milk or water has already been filled into the tank and shows the current fill quantity constantly on the display.
Whole milk supplement with calf milk replacer
And if whole milk and CMR are to be mixed? What if your milk has a dry matter value of 12.3 % but you need an overall mix with 13.5 % dry matter? SmartMix recognises how much whole milk has been filled and determines how much water and CMR have to be added to achieve the required milk quantity in the required concentration.
Easier feeding
The same question always arises when feeding: how old is the calf and how much milk is it supposed to have? The MilkTaxi can answer this question for you with the SmartID option.
SmartID: Calf pen radio detection
The MilkTaxi detects each pen wirelessly as it moves past and the pen number is shown on the display. The operator now selects the right amount of feed for the calf or group of calves, presses the release button, which causes the milk to be filled into the buckets. The weight fed is registered and stored for each pen.
Intelligent pen management
Smart-ID works for both single and group pens. For groups of calves, it indicates how many calves are in the group and whether they are fed using individual buckets or "teat bars". When used in conjunction with the CalfGuide management application, information can be stored for individual pens and automatically retrieved at the next feeding. This is how staff members are alerted to sick animals or other unusual circumstances. An enormous improvement in work quality, particularly where there are changes in staff.
