FAQ

Trouvez les réponses aux questions les plus courantes sur nos produits, nos services et notre assistance.

What maintenance is required for a VMS™ milking robot?

The VMS™ is designed to operate independently, but requires regular maintenance to ensure its performance: daily automatic cleaning, checking of wear parts, weekly maintenance, and scheduled technical intervention. Your dealer can suggest an adapted maintenance plan.

Which option is best for me between VMS™, rotary, or traditional milking parlor?

It depends on the size of your herd, your available workforce, your level of comfort with automation, and your long-term goals.

  • VMS™ : ideal for farms that want to automate, improve animal welfare and collect individual data.
  • Rotatable : for large farms looking to maximize hourly throughput with few staff.
  • Parallel or cob milking parlor : a proven and economical solution, easy to maintain.
Why invest in a robot like OptiDuo™?

The OptiDuo™ robot doesn't just push the ration back: it automatically mixes and repositions it, which encourages cows to feed more frequently and improves the quality consistency of the ration. The result: more milk produced per cow, less waste, and a reduction in labor of up to $3,500 per year.

How to use DelPro™ for an optimized diet?

DelPro FarmManager allows you to plan and execute a rational strategy for each cow or group, based on the lactation stage (DIM), production level, or days before calving (DTC). You can program smooth transitions between two types of food or schedule a ration supplement at the peak of lactation, all with assignments that automatically follow one another without interruption.

What is the difference between the VMS™ V300 and the VMS™ V310?

Both systems offer the same benefits in terms of milking, animal comfort and efficiency. The VMS™ V310 also includes RePro™ technology, which measures progesterone levels in milk to automatically track ovulation, pregnancy, or reproductive disorders.

What is the VMS™ robotic milking system?

The VMS™ (Voluntary Milking System) is an autonomous milking robot that allows cows to be milked when they want, without human intervention. It improves animal health, reduces workload, and automatically collects accurate data on each milking.

How do I know what equipment is right for my farm?

It depends on the size of your herd, the type of ration (TMR/PMR), the degree of automation sought and the milking model used (robotic system or not). An audit or a quick discussion with a DeLaval representative will help you establish a tailor-made solution.
