COSMIX M Mobile Outdoor Feeder

Mobile solar-powered outdoor feeder: the solution for cattle on pasture

Grazing-based cattle farming is always challenged by amount and qualities of grass available during the seasons. Spring usually offers a surplus of good quality grass, but during the summer and winter season the animals show a reduced Performance.

Feeding grazing animals with supplementary concentrates has been tried with limited success because of grain poisoning, due to overeating by the most aggressive animals. The introduction of the Cosmix-M mobile outdoor feeder puts an end to this dilemma. The mobile Cosmix-M is specially designed to fit into a grazing environment. The mobile Cosmix-M will feed one type of concentrate to those animals needing additional energy. The Cosmix-M is also suitable for farms that want to feed concentrate to young beef cattle or dry cows in the pasture.

The Cosmix-M also makes your work easier. The system is equipped with automatic cow identification. When a cow visits a feeder for the first time, it is recognised automatically and assigned to the starters group. In this group the cow starts to receive more and more concentrate according to pre-set parameters. The only thing a farmer has to do is to set these parameters once. The information provided by the Cosmix-M enables you tohave better control of your herd, since you can check if the cow has eaten her ration.

The Cosmix-M has been developed particularly for grazing conditions, when a farmer wants to supply concentrate throughout the day and needs to move a concentrate feeder from one field to another. Below you will find several examples of how to use the Cosmix-M. Depending on the distributed amount of concentrate per cow, one Cosmix-M is suitable for a group of 40-70 cows. With full feeding capacity, the unit should be filled up about once a week.
