BouMatic, a global leader in the design, manufacture and supply of high quality milking systems and dairy equipment, released a new SmartDairy Feeding Module for Out-of-Parlor and In-Parlor Feeding.

BouMatic’s New SmartDairy Feeding modules utilize the industry’s latest software and RFID technology to deliver a robust system that helps dairy producers feed their cows more easily and efficiently. The newly re-designed fiber resin trough provides easy access for cows and the system is ISO ear tag compatible, allowing dairy producers to use current RFID systems to manage their feeding program.

Both the SmartDairy Out-of-Parlor and In-Parlor Feeding modules are powered by the SmartDairy network controller and are compatible with BouMatic’s broad-range RFID tags. 

With SmartDairy Feeding, for identification at the feeder dairy producers can now use either BouMatic HeatSeeker II activity tags -- which allow cow activity to be read at each feeding station -- or ISO RFID ear tags.

The user-friendly SmartDairy Feeding software has multiple features that can help dairy producers customize their SmartDairy Feeding modules to fit their operation. 

The Out-of-Parlor Feeding Module can be programmed to provide up to four feed types, while the In-Parlor Feeding Module will deliver up to two feed types depending on the style of parlor and detachers being used.

BouMatic’s SmartDairy Management System is built on a modular concept that provides dairy owners the option to start with desired modules and expand into a complete dairy management system as their operations grow.  PD
