Seven Ways the Lely Juno Shines

1. Greater flexibility

   The Lely Juno eliminates feed pushing, a repetitive task on farms. This has two major benefits: first, repetitive tasks have a significant negative impact on employee motivation and can lead to operational deadlock. Second, the time and labor saved by eliminating feed pushing can be redirected to other tasks. 

2. Energy savings

   The highly energy-efficient Lely Juno has a positive impact on CO2 emissions. This can be explained as follows: a tractor or shovel would use ten times more energy and emit four times more CO2 annually.

3. Improved animal welfare 

   Increasing the frequency of feed pushing will encourage feed consumption throughout the day and night, which can lead to greater feed intake from your herd. Greater feed intake positively affects the rumen pH balance, improving not only the animal's health but also its fertility and production.

4. Minimized feed waste

   The Lely Juno automatically moves, pushing the feed towards the feed fence without disturbing the cows. Increasing the feed pushing frequency can increase feed efficiency, improve constant freshness and limits heat buildup and toxin buildup. All of this can significantly contribute to animal health and productivity.

5. A quieter herd 

   Thanks to the regular and reliable feed pushing offered by the Lely Juno, cows lower in the herd hierarchy have more access to fresh feed after the cows higher up have had their fill.  

6. Labor savings

   With six 10-minute rounds per day, the Lely Juno saves an average of up to 365 hours of labor per year. This translates in up to 45 days of savings from an 8-hour shift per year!

7. More productive cows 

   The constant availability of fresh feed 24/7 increases dry matter intake, resulting in higher-quality milk from cows.

The Lely Juno offers flexible packages that include extra features, making it the perfect partner for your dairy operation. All options can be combined in the Flex package. These features include:
