Explore the Lely Astronaut System
The new milestone in milking - it's an evolution that incorporates everything we have learnt over the past 25 years since we invented automatic milking. We looked at our cows, we listened to our customers and we stuck to proven practices, but we also completely redesigned every bit of the system.
Designed to suit the needs of your cows and farm, click below for more details.
Automatic feeding is now affordable!
We are extremely proud to be recognised as the market leader in manufacturing of automatic feeding systems. Ten years ago, we installed the first Vector feeding system. Since then we have matured the system and made sure that our customers are satisfied with its performance.

Revolutionary manure robots for dense barn floors
Regular cleaning of the floor inhibits the growth of bacteria and keeps feet, udders and tails cleaner. This not only increases foot health, it contributes to the overall productivity of your herd. By using the very latest technology, the barn floor can be kept clean automatically.

Increasing the feed intake has never been easier
Frequent feed pushing, throughout the day and night, stimulates the dry matter intake of the herd. This optimises rumen health, feed efficiency and productivity. By automating this recurring work, the Lely Juno makes your life easier and makes your day more flexible, your production more efficient and your business more successful.
The Lely Juno is suited to every farm, to find out more click below.

Quality of life was the driving force behind the decision to install robots for one Gloucestershire family‘The Bennett family’s previous dairy system was not broken, but something needed to change as Jeremy and Vicky approached their 50s and were working all hours of the day.

The ability to spread risk and expand gradually by adding robots over a 20 year period has been the big advantage of moving to automated milking at Hardwick Farm, Abergavenny‘Dave Jones believes it’s particularly beneficial as the investment can be spread over a number of years, compared to one large initial outlay for a parlour which may then be underutilised during herd expansion.’
