Milk Care

Milk Care supports you in producing quality milk through our fully automated cleaning programmes and consumable products specially developed for the Lely milking robot. Our products are safe for your cows and machines while effectively limiting bacterial growth. Our Milk Care products are divided among four categories; Astronaut heat cleaning, tank cleaning, brush cleaning and milk filtering. 

Proper internal cleaning of the Lely Astronaut is essential for high quality milk production and the longevity of the robot. The milking robot features a unique heat-cleaning system for fast and effective cleaning. This system in combination with the Lely Astri cleaning range helps maintain the hygiene of your robot and milk quality. The Lely Astri range complies with food safety regulations and meets the required specifications for the Lely Astronaut.  

We offer various solutions for cleaning the milk tank, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your needs. During the development of our tank cleaning products, we considered the environment, organic livestock farming, the technical specifications and the requirements imposed by local authorities and milk processors.  

To produce high-quality milk, it is essential to maintain the cleanliness of the pretreatment brushes on your Lely Astronaut. Clean brushes can help prevent cross-contamination and contribute to optimal hygiene. Lely Astronaut Brush cleaning products are developed to help ensure fast and effective cleaning.  

Milk filters play an important role in maintaining a hygienic milking process. They filter out any contamination that may come from the Lely Astronaut. It is important to replace these filters in a timely manner to ensure that they function correctly.

Cow Care

Healthy lifestock is the basis for a healthy business.  After all, a healthy dairy cow produces more milk with less labour and costs. From udder care sprays to bedding management and hoof health products, our Cow Care solutions are carefully selected to help maintain cow health. We offer Cow Care products that support; udder health, hoof health, calf health, monitoring, cubicle hygiene and biosecurity. 

Using efficient udder care products reduces the risk of various health-related issues, such as increased somatic cell counts or udder inflammation. By maintaining udder health, cows can use their energy efficiently to produce high-quality milk. Our carefully selected range of udder care products help to disinfect and provide optimal udder care. These products are specially designed for use with the Lely Astronaut milking robot.

Cows with healthy hooves are more productive, require less attention, and can contribute positively to milk yields. Since we choose the most natural way of milking, allowing cows to move freely, they must be able walk without hindrance. To help maintain hoof health for the entire herd, we introduced the Lely Meteor hoof health approach.

Monitoring changes in milk quality can provide valuable insights and make it easier to identify cows with potential problems. Early detection of udder health infections allows for timely treatment, preventing serious illnesses. 

Cows lie down for approximately 14 hours per day to rest and ruminate. While lying down, blood circulates through the udders, increasing milk production. We offer various cubicle hygiene products to contribute to a clean and hygienic environment for your herd.

The better the start for the calf, the greater the chance of having a healthy, mature dairy cow. Our range of products supports this goal. By thoroughly cleaning the Lely Calm calf feeder, you can limit bacteria growth, contribute positively to calf milk quality, and promote calf health.  

Hygienic practices are crucial on a dairy farm as they prevent the spread of contagious animal diseases and promote good animal health. 

Machine Care

Long-term investments, such as our automatic robots, deserve proper maintenance. We offer products to clean the inside and outside of robots, preventing excessive wear and tear and helping you achieve maximum uptime and a long lifespan. Our Lely Machine Care products are designed to support the longevity and peak performance of your Lely machine. We offer a Foam concept and Astronaut,- Discover,- and -Calm wear parts. 

Hygiene influences animal health, milk quality, and the operation and lifespan of the machines. Each type of dirt requires a different approach, depending on its origin and the surface it sticks to. That is why Lely developed the Foam concept, with safe detergents for a clean working environment. 

For the optimal performance of the milking robot, Lely provides the wear parts that need timely replacement. These components are designed for easy self-replacement, ensuring the machine functions smoothly. 

The silicone strip at the bottom of the Lely Discovery wears and tears. We recommend that you replace this flexible strip about twice a year or if it is damaged. 

We deliver components for the daily maintenance of the Calm that you can easily replace yourself. Calm teats and tubes are constantly in contact with milk and the calves. Replacing the wear parts on regular basis contribute to healthy calves and optimal machine uptime.

THE PROCESS

How Consumables and the milking process works

  • Before

    Before milking starts, pre-treatment consumables are used to clean the teats of the cow, stimulating milk flow and helping you achieve a tank full of quality milk.

    01

  • During

    During the milking process, consumables are used to help you keep the machinery clean and working smoothly.

    02

  • After

    After the milking process, post-treatment consumables are used to clean the cow, helping you contribute to optimal health of your animals.

    03

Chemical Safety & Storage

At Lely, we consider the safety of people and cows our top priority. Chemicals can be dangerous goods, meaning it is important to know how to properly handle these products both when in use and also when in storage. This handling and use may also vary according to your situation.

Every situation is unique. Just think of local laws and regulations which can differ by country: they can even mean something different for your farm and for your neighbor’s farm. Meeting these requirements isn’t always black and white, so it is important to understand the reasoning behind them to be able to apply them to your own situation, to ensure a safe situation for you, your family, employees, cows and the environment.
