USP's Dairy XL
Animal welfare
Our solutions drive results by creating an environment where cows can maximise their genetic potential and where farmers can focus on running their businesses and attending to cows that need special attention.
Red Cow Community
The Red Cow Community is initiated by Lely to connect and inspire Dairy XL customers by sharing experiences and insights. The network consists of several hundred large dairy farms worldwide.
Digital farming
A modern dairy farm generates vital data on cow health, milk yields, operations, and more. Our digital management system, Lely Horizon, uses powerful algorithms to transform this data into actionable insight for daily management and strategic decision-making.

Ideas behind the Dairy XL approach
Creating an environment where cows, technology and people work together allows them to excel in their area and will deliver increased results. By having cows and technology work for the farmer, time is freed up to focus on other routines and execute the right decisions. The nature of labor changes from repetitive work to focusing on only those cows that need attention.
Growing through automation with our Dairy XL team. Our colleagues from Farm Management Support help to realise the full potential of your farm automation decisions. In this video the three basic principles of our Dairy XL approach are explained: “Build to manage”.
Work smarter with our proven routines. Cows lives are made easier by applying the free cow traffic principle in the barn. Still, all cows do require attention from the farmer at specific times during their lactation. We call these moments a cow touch. In this video we explain how all interactions with the cow during her lactation can easily be organized via our setup.
How our farm management vision and the Horizon management system provide full control.

Stories from our customers
ES Dumbría – Spain
Jesús Perfecto, Granadería Pazos
500 cows, 8 Lely Astronaut milking robots, double Lely Vector automatic feeding system
Looking to the future, the most important conditions for a job are that it must be convenient, efficient and enjoyable. These things are more important than just economic results and profitability.
Plymouth, IN, USA
Brian and Jill Houin, Homestead Dairy
36 Lely Astronaut milking robots
When you put in a rotary you have to fill it as fast as you can, with the robots you can do it in phases. Therefore we were able to do this with our own cows."
Ljusdal, Sweden
Janne Hansson “Vallens Gård”
18 Lely Astronaut A4 milking robots
The biggest advantages are the soft values, for both cows and the staff. Now their tasks with the animals are more preventive. We are now a step ahead instead of extinguishing fires as we sometimes did before.
Peebleshire, Scotland
Colin Laird, Blythbridge Holsteins
500 cows, 10 Lely Astronaut milking robots
Once you get over 400 cows, you start to lose that connection with individual cows, they become just numbers. Installing the robots brought that connection back: I know the cows better now.
