8 STABLE TECHNOLOGIES TECHNOLOGIES AND BUILDINGS FOR CATTLE Modern farm for cattle breeding, mostly milking cows, is a complex of high quality technologies. To make the complex work properly and reliably, it s necessary to have not only the appropriate technologies but also an especially experienced team of specialists such as - designers, construction engineers, livestock specialists, feed specialists, geneticists, electricians and other professions. We have completed many projects including farms on green sites or reconstructions of current farms and stables. The best solutions and attention to detail of smallest details that we care about makes a farm the most effective among the competetion. BAUER WE KNOW-HOW TO BUILD COMPLEX TECHNOLOGICAL UNITS FOR CATTLE With regard to a construction site and especially climate conditions in a particular region, we offer many types of constructions and the right way of constructing, that complies to conditions in the area and also to the business plan. We place the greatest emphasis on projects for milking cows. Equally important is the right choice and technological solution of milking parlours, stabling of claves, heifers and bulls. For the faultless operation of the farm it is necessary to choose a suitable system for removing and storing -- slurry. For the construction of new farms we use our own assembled system with steel or wooden structures and cladding, that fits to temperature conditions in that particular region. This way we eliminate the stress on the animals, which occurs mainly during high summer temperatures. We offer a wide range of construction and technological elements and components....designing with client in mind 7

9 CONCEPTION OF FARMS CONCEPTION OF FARMS AND STABLES FOR CATTLE STABLING Draft for an effective and fully functional farm, mainly for milking cows, demands wide experience. Drafts are designed in designing department at BAUER TECHNICS. Here we choose the most optimal constructing and technological solution in cooperation with our customer. This makes the basis for successful realisation of a complete farm, or particular stables. WE WRAP UP TOP-CLASS COMPLEX OF TECHNOLOGIES WITH THE APPROPRIATE CONSTRUCTION THE DESIGN OF FARMS OR INDIVIDUAL STABLES DEPENDS ON: Territorial conditions - position of the farm (climatic conditions, hygienical zones, nature protection, distances from residential buildings, etc...) Zootechnical-hygienical solution of the farm Zoning of the farm, solution for infrastructure Calculation of herd turnover Method of stabling of all animal categories Ventilation of the stables (or air cooling systems) Methods for feeding and drinking Solution for the most suitable profile of the floor Solutions for transport, storing and application of slurry 8

10 CONCEPTION OF FARMS BAUER, COMPLETE KNOW-HOW Guarantee an optimal solution for your project ACCORDING TO THE TECHNOLOGICAL PROPOSALS, SUITABLE BUILDING CONSTRUCTIONS AND CLADDINGS ARE APPLICATIED. WE DO DELIVER CONSTRUCTIONS RIGHT FOR YOUR PARTICULAR FARM, CLIMATIC CONDITIONS AND NUMBER OF ANIMALS. 9

11 FARMS FOR CATTLE STABLES FOR TEMPERATE REGIONS In areas, where the temperature doesn t exceed 30 C in summer and doesn t fall below -20 C in winter, we design conventional naturaly ventilated stables with simple construction of 24-32/36m span (4-6 rowed stabling forf milking cows), with the slope of the roof 22-25, which provides good ventilation in summer and prevent condensation of water vapour during winter times. Variably stable can be designed with thermally insulated roof system (preventing influence of high temperatures in summer time). STABLES FOR COLD REGIONS In extremely cold areas it s necessary to design a construction which provides the most optimal enviroment for animals and functionality of all technological units. Mainly the removal of slurry, drinking and ventilation. Our stables are equipped with special thermally insulated ventilation walls and closeable roof ridge ventilation hole. STABLES FOR WARM AND HOT REGIONS In areas with significantly warm or hot climate we design open (cold) stables equipped with cooling systems. For these conditions we design several types of ventilation, mainly with the help of large dimension fans (variantly in combination with water cooling). MONOBLOCK STABLES(WITH CROSSWISE VENTILATION) Special low-profile construction of stables with the width of or more meters (8-rowed stabling) are new in designing of stables for milking cows. They allow all year round control of mocriclima and decreasing of expenses for one laying bed. 10

12 FARMS FOR OTHER CATTLE CATEGORIES STABLES FOR OTHER CATTLE CATEGORIES We design stables for calves, heifers, bulls and meat breeds as well. We respect local climate conditions and the continued breeding success and experience of your company with the newest trends. FARMS FOR SHEEPS AND GOATS We will design a farm for sheeps or goats using the same way of designing as for farms for production cows using the AFIMILK systems. 11

THEY ARE OF COURSE PRODUCED IN AGREEMENT WITH THE DEMANDS AND CRITE- RIA OF INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS ISO5707 AND The VVK Air pump The VVk air pump creates suction for mechanical milking, the transportation of milk, water and disinfected liquid. The basis of the unit is an air pump with rotating pistons. An important part of the unit is the puls frequency regulator that greatly reduces the price of milking. Transportation of milk collecting container with pump This unit is used for collecting milk from the connected milking pipeline. In large milking parlours we recommend making a double arrangement of milking equipment. On each side of the milking parlour we recommend installing one collecting container with a pump. This method of instalation allows alternative milking on each side of milking parlour. Milking set UNILAC 420 Ergonomic shape of collector with a volume of 420 cm3 fulfils all the parameters and requirements of international standard ISO designing with client in mind 20

22 MILKING TECHNOLOGIES Automation of milking The automation controls progress of milking and on the basis of specific signals manages the whole process with the goal of milking the cow quickly. The management centre of the whole milking parlor is the world known managing program AFIFARM (manufacturer S.A.E. Afikim, Israel). A very important part of the system is an identification marker, so called PEDOMETER, which is fastened to a cow s back foot. With the help of receiving antennas, which are placed in the milking parlour, the data is collected and transferred for further processing. Besides the code of the pedometer, which is assigned to the identification number of a cow, it contains a sensor for counting the cow s steps. This entry is analysed after the transmission to the computer. It is used for determining if a cow is in the heat, or it can be used for considering the state of health of a cow, for breeding work, record keeping, etc Significant parts of the automation are pulsators, control valves and reading devices. An electromagnetic asynchronous pulsator (type PAE 2, 3) is constructed with filtered air input. The construction of the control valves is similar to the pulsators, this is an advantage because of the unification of spare parts. The receiving device is a plastic or stainless steel cylinder, which takes the milking machine down from an udder by the help of string that is fastened with disjoining snap-hook. Washing and disinfecting automat The disinfection machine MA-120 ( 180 ) named MYVAL allows automatic dosing of disinfection liquid. This machine guarantees the required concentration of disinfection solution and optimizes consumption of disinfection materials. Milk lines, disinfection lines and lines of partial vacuum air Low pressure milk lines with the dimensions, that allows the fastest and smoothest transport of milk, are made from high quality stainless steel which is mainly used in the food industry. Minimal number of joints assures perfect cleaning of the system even in the biggest milking parlors.

24 MILKING TECHNOLOGIES PIPELINE MILKING EQUIPMENT CLASSIC PIPELINE MILKING FOR BINDING STABLES The pneumatic pipeline of the milking machine is placed directly in the dairy cow stable. It consists of dairy and pressure pipes running the entire length of the stable and can be positioned as required. The source of the vacuum - the vacuum pump, the drainage of the milk into the cooling tank, the pipe rinsing and milking itself are all controlled by a control unit, which can be moved along between each dairy cow. ELECTRONIC PIPELINE MILKING EQUIPMENT A world leader in its field. It adapts the most modern elements of the milking house to existing fixed stables. Needs no complicated stable reconstruction or new milking house and does not require a large investment. Gained an advantage over your competitors: p Automatic data collation p Top-quality milk flow-meter tested by ICAR p Automatic machine removal p Health of each dairy cow monitored p Early detection of mastitis p Fast return on investment due to use of Afifarm THM Total Herd Management program SLUBBER MILKING EQUIPMENT Mobile milking facilities are for small producers breeding cows, goats and sheep. Slubber milking guarantees consistent milk properties and hygienically clean milk. The customer can choose from a variety of designs. MILKING ROBOT p single-slubber milking facilities p two-slubber milking facilities p synchronous or asynchronous model p choice of milking sets for cows, goats or sheep p mobile or stationary models p powered by 220 V or 380 V p size of stainless slubber 16 to 25 litres The milking robot presents a fully automated method of milking cows. When the cow enter the place for milking, the robot identifies her and checks the interval from last milking. After that udders are disinfected, milking device is installed on the udders and milking bigins with first few suctions of milk. Robot analyses the possibility of mastitis as well. Cow is milked only in case that everything is as it should be. If the robot reveals signs of inflammatory ilnesses a cow is milked as well but the milk is transported to the tank that is used for collecting of milk from cows with mastitis and other healed cows, etc. When a cow is milked properely the udders are automaticly disinfected, washed with water and set ready for next use. 23

27 COMPUTERISED HERD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM HERD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AFIMILK AFIFARM AFIFARM is clearly the most widely used herd management software. It runs in several modules under Windows and in many languages (Czech, English, German, Russian, and more); it is easy and pleasant to work with the program. All figures are processed into clear tables and graphs. The program has also been certified for keeping cattle stable registers and the breeder can import the results of efficiency checks. The on-line assistance service provided by programmers working for Bauer - Agromilk or S.A.E. Afikim direct. AfiFarm lets farmers make day-to-day strategic decisions and choose their tactics for the future. In contrast with our competitors the link with the pedometers helps to prevent illness in individual cows and save a great deal of money, where otherwise the problem would come to light later and classic treatment would be required. Main factors: d A daily report on the herd and analysis of dairy cows in heat or pregnant d Health monitoring d Report on results of milk yield d Automatic generation of veterinary reports based on individual parameters d Culling plan d Overview of herd and planned lactation d Simple check on the results of veterinary visits including diagnoses, prescribed drugs and timing AFIMILK The system monitors and records data in the milking house. It allows monitoring the yield, the electrical conductivity of milk from the milk flow-meter and scans movement activity from the pedometer. The system analyses the data to give 10-day average figures and assesses problem dairy cows by predefined parameters. Dairy cows deviating from these parameters are selected and sorted into sets with rules. The advantage is the option to set the level of deviation for different stages of lactation. This choice allows the operator to identify dairy cows recorded as being in heat, or who have a reproductive or health problem. HEALTH SETS: Checks efficiency, lactation, milk conductivity and movement. As the system can identify an incipient illness in time, we can dramatically cut lactation losses (save milk from production between both curves, where the upper is in the Afifarm system, and the lower in other standard systems). Pedometers and movement monitoring allow you to spot animals coming into heat and shorten the period service. This method is based on statistics and scientific examination of the correlation between sharply increasing movement when an animal is coming into heat. The graph shows that heat starts on day 63, insemination on day 85 and confirmation of pregnancy 45 days later....designing with client in mind 26

28 BAUER AFIMILK INFORMATION IN EVERY DROP OF THE MILK Profitability of dairy herds of all sizes are based on precision management. Knowing the details and state of each animal for making the correct daily management decisions are the basics of precision management. Automatic data collection is the only practical way for achieving a reliable database of information about the animals on the farm. AfiMilk is an automated system that collects information about the performance of each animal, builds a database of animals, and generates reports. MAIN COMPONENTS AfiMilk is a system that incorporates sensors that collect data on the performance of each animal in the milking parlor, sending the information to the AfiMilk program installed in the PC. The program is the fruit of years of experience and expertise. It registers the collected information in an animal database, analyzes it and produces reports according to the manager s request. THE SYSTEM CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS: p AfiLite Milk Meter An efficient and precise milk meter approved by ICAR*. AfiLite measures the milk yield and milk conductivity used by AfiMilk for monitoring cow health and production. p AfiTag An electronic transponder attached to the cow s leg. AfiTag measures and transmits the activity data of the animal that is the basis of AfiMilk s efficient heat detection. p IDeal Identification system based on the stall ID of each animal. The high accuracy of the system and the identification in each stall ensures that the data collected by the system is reliable and trustworthy. AfiMilk p AfiLab The new sensor of the AfiMilk system providing on line information about the composition of the milk. Benefits of AfiMilk AfiMilk provides information and analysis of the production health and fertility of the herd. It allows better control over the animals in the herd thus maximizing profits. Early Detection of Mastitis Mastitis has a major affect on farm profitability. This disease affects short-term milk production as well as further lactation production. Hurting mostly the best cows, mastitis influences the average milk production of the entire herd. The unique analysis of the electrical conductivity of the milk and milk production performance of each animal allows AfiMilk to identify mastitis early, before the cow s health deteriorates to a level at which milkers can sense udder disease. Thus AfiMilk enable early treatment that minimizes the loss of milk caused by the disease. 27

29 BAUER AFIMILK Mastitis Detection Monitoring Milking Efficiency AfiMilk monitors the milking of the cows as well as the entire milking process. The data collected by the system indicates the quality of the cow, the operation of the milking shift, and the efficiency of the milking procedures. Thus, shorter claw-on times are achieved, the milking session is shortened and cow waiting-time is minimized. Heat Detection The control over the cows' lactation interval is a primary condition for maximizing milk production. Efficient heat detection is the tool for controlling the breeding of cows and this is exactly what AfiMilk provides - effortless yet efficient heat detection. Heat Detection Management by Exception The AfiMilk system analyzes the data of each animal and gives deviation alerts that require the attention of the dairy manager. AfiMilk is a tool that enables every farm manager to improve his performance, to increase the dairy farm s profits and maximize the efficiency of farming operations. AfiMilk 28

35 BAUER AFIACT Afiact THIS BASIC MOVEMENT MONITORING SYSTEM CAN BE INSTALLED IN FARMS, WHICH DO NOT USE THE AFIMILK SYSTEM, OR THIS SYSTEM CAN BE USED TO FIND HEIFERS IN HEAT. Round the Clock Monitoring p For every dairy farmer, the primary objective of good reproductive management is to assure that cows calve at optimal intervals and maintain lactation at peak levels of efficiency. A successful breeding program enhances profitability by maximizing the time that cows spend in the most productive period of lactation. First and foremost, timed breeding and high fertility rates demand accurate cow-heat detection. p In more than 25 years of research, it has been demonstrated that there is a direct and strong correlation between the timing of estrus and increased walking activity of a cow. Based on this research, AfiMilk team has developed the AfiAct heat detection to perfection, thus the first commercial pedometer for estrus detection has been launched. p AfiAct is an automatic system with detection rates that are superior to traditional methods such as visual observation or tail chalking. AfiAct is a methodical, systemized technology that can monitor cows around the clock with "a pair of eyes that never close." The dairy operator needs no more than a few minutes each day to identify those animals eligible for breeding. Product Options p Milking cows - Some dairy owners decide to install AfiAct for heat detection to later build on it to the comprehensive AfiMilk system. This upgrade makes full use of the pedometers and other components that are purchased with AfiAct. p Heifers - AfiAct provides high rates of heat detection for virgin-heifer groups. Installed side by side with AfiAct for milking cows, AfiAct thus provides full coverage of heat detection on the farm. p Grazing Milk Cows - AfiAct is used effectively for grazing cows. Pasturing cows walk long distances, change grazing fields frequently, sometimes graze during the day and are confined to pens at night. AfiAct incorporates unique technology for neutral izing these variations, resulting in high success rates of heat detection under difficult conditions. p AfiAct provides additional benefits - Alerts for cow that fails to show signs of heat - Alerts for possible abortions (heat signs for pregnant cows) - Indicates decrease in activity (lame or sick cows) 34

HIGH LEVELS OF ANIMAL ID IS THE PRIMARY FACTOR FOR THE SUCCESS OF ANY AUTO- MATED DATA COLLECTION SYSTEM. THE TRENDS of assigning a standard electronic identification chip to farm animals, has been adapted in countries around the world today. Standard ID chips are more common and used for tracing of animals as well as food safety and data collection. AfiPass is an identification solution for reading commonly approved ISO ID tags (HDX). It provides many configuration solutions to different needs of data collection in sheep and goat farms. p Rotary Parlors AfiPass is used to identify both the animal and the stall in which the animal is milked. Its unique setting ensures that the animal is identified once inside the milking stall, unable to retreat. Thus, a highly ID rate and accurate assignment of data to the animal is achieved. p Shared Parallel Stall ID This configuration allows usage of a milking machine for multiple animals on each load. It is built for semi automated milking process, opening vacuum to the cluster automatically after the animal has been identified. The system monitors start of milking of a new animal, assigning the correct portion of milk to each animal milked at the milking stall. p Entrance ID AfiPass enables identification of sheep/goats as they enter the milking parlor. This configuration includes a milking machine and milk meter at each milking point. 42

44 AFIPASS; AFI2GO COMPONENTS AfiPass system is built with a main controller, different types of antennas and supports different type of standard ISO ID tags. p AfiPass Controller This device controls the identification process. It supports 2 antennas but may be configured to work with extension units to support up to 64 antennas per unit. p Antennas A few types of antennas are available, according to the type of application. p ISO Tags AfiPass supports three main types of ISO tags Bolus tag, Ear tag and a tag strapped to the leg of the animal. Afi2Go FOR REPORTING FARM EVENTS AFI2GO IS A PORTABLE PDA DEVICE USED FOR REPORTING EVENTS AND ANIMAL TREATMENTS. THE AFI2GO PDA IS A TOOL IN THE HANDS OF THE HERDSMAN FOR ACCURATE AND EFFICIENT DATA COLLECTION. IT WAS DEVELOPED AS A COMPLEMENTARY ACCESSORY TO THE AFIMILK SYSTEM FOR EASIER REPORTING OF EVENTS WHILE WORKING OUTSIDE THE OFFICE. OPERATION Working within the AfiMilk management program the herdsman commences his daily routine selecting those animals in need of attention and downloads the information directly to the PDA. Using Afi2GO on his rounds in the animal pens, the farmer identifies those animals needing treatment, recording the information, as he proceeds, in the PDA. When the working session is over, the herdsman connects the PDA to the PC and downloads the data to the AfiMilk management program. The entire procedure is quick, carried out with the minimal number of key strokes and makes the entry of large amounts of data simple and convenient. Afi2GO includes a RFID option for identifying the animals electronically from their ID tags. Thus the number of errors in animal identification is significantly reduced and the entire working process becomes fast and easy. APPLICATIONS Afi2GO is built for different types of operations: p Working in Pens When working in animal pens, all the animals are identified one by one and the device alerts for those animals needing attention. This procedure makes tracing animals in large groups quick and practical. p Hospital Pens There are two ways of working with animals pre-selected and confined in a treatment pen: u Specific Treatments- The operator selects an option for a single group event such as breeding, vaccinating, ating, or pregnancychecks. Based on the ID information, the operator confirms or declines es the treatment t t / diagnosis is for every animal identified. u Multiple Treatments- Afi2GO notifies the operator about the required treatment for every animal identified. The operator can then confirm or select the treatment to register. p Working Stations This option allows the operator to run a line of animals through h a data station, for example weighing, checking-cage, or hoof trimming, and record information in the Afi2GO device. 43

45 BAUER AFISORT AfiSort AN EXTRA HAND ON THE DAIRY FARM Medium and large size dairy farmers treat a significant number of cows on any given day. Breeding, pregnancy, post calving checks, and veterinary treatment for sick cows is just a short-list of checks and examinations that farmers have to perform regularly. Tracking, selecting and monitoring is an important and demanding task for the herdsman. It is time consuming, requiring data analysis, and can often result in animals being left unattended. On a farm, tracing the targeted cows among an anonymous mass is as time consuming as finding a needle in a haystack. This task requires extra hands on the dairy farm. The AfiSort Automated Cow traffic control system is the most efficient solution for treating cows in a dairy farm. AFISORT IS A COMPUTERIZED GATE CONTROL SYSTEM SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO DIRECT COW TRAFFIC. USING THE COMPREHENSIVE AFIFARM DATABASE, AN ACCURATE AND CONSISTENT METHOD OF SELECTING AND SORTING COWS IS ACHIEVED AUTOMATICALLY. FEATURES d Automated Cow Selection AfiSort automatically traces the cows that need your attention every day. All you need to do is define the criteria for cows requiring attention and AfiSort does the rest. AfiSort controls the sort gates and separates the cows into their respective treatment areas according to our pre-defined instructions. d Computerized Herd-Control Leaving the milking parlor, selected groups of cows can be diverted back to their pens. This capability is also used to automatically move cows between pens. d Targeting Cows for Breeding AfiSort is used for efficiently isolating cows for breeding. This enables quick insemination of cows and avoids the need to stroll over large areas seeking out the cows for insemination. d AfiSort is an essential tool in modern dairy farming. It is a labor saving system that ensures that no cow is left unattended. 44

46 BAUER AFIWEIGHT, IDEAL Afiweight AfiWeigh is an AfiMilk module that automatically determines a cow s body weight and stores it in the AfiMilk database. The AfiWeigh system consists of one or multiple weighing platforms installed on the route cows follow when approaching or departing the milking parlor. Each cow walking over the weighing platform, is automatically identified and weighed. The data downloaded into the cow s individual database enables generation of body weightbased reports which are an essential component in successful dairy farm management. WHY SHOULD COWS BE WEIGHED? The dry period and postpartum period of a dairy cow determines productive and reproductive performance during lactation. High yielding cows in the post partum transition phase require more energy than they consume to produce milk (fat) and to maintain their body weight. These animals may therefore experience a substantial negative energy balance that is associated with a high risk of metabolic disorders and health problems. Post partum cows usually start to regain body weight and energy balance days after calving. Cows that fail to reach these targets are at risk both regarding milk production and reproduction. It is vitally important therefore, to monitor changes in body condition during lactation in order to recognize and treat cows vulnerable to calving and metabolic disorders. BENEFITS AfiWeigh is a decision support tool that significantly improves operational efficiency in addition to increasing the entire production of the herd. By working in combination with other data parameters in the AfiMilk system, AfiWeigh data enables the following actions: d Identifying cows that are late in regaining post partum weight d Estimating DMI (Dry Matter Intake) d Identifying weight loss or gain during the dry period d Retrospective analysis of changes in feeding d Supporting parameters for monitoring stress and health problems IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM. Accurate on-the-farm animal IDeal identification and data recording is a pre-condition for ensuring efficient dairy management. High levels of animal ID is the primary factor for the success of any automated data collection system. Afi IDeal identification system is an important component of every AFI system. It is comprised of three main components IDeal Controller, antennas and AfiTag an ID transponder and pedometer attached to the cow's leg. The AfiIDeal is an electronic system, using low power radio frequency transmission for transmitting information from the cow to the computerized system. The IDeal system is compliant with all the regulations for transmitting systems in Europe and in North America. The IDeal system serves the different Afi modules (AfiMilk, AfiSort, AfiWeigh ) as an identification system, while in the AfiAct system it is recording the animals' activity. There is one thing on which we, in the AfiMilk group do not compromise the quality and reliability of the information gathered by our sensors. With this in mind, we designed our IDeal system for milking parlors to identify the cows at the milking point rather than at the parlor entrance. This ensures maximum system reliability, ensuring that all the data collected is assigned to the correct animals. 45

47 STABLING TECHNOLOGY STABLING TECHNOLOGY Dairy cows lie in one box for 10 to 13 hours a day, and get up and lie down up to 10 times a day.

51 SLURRY SYSTEMS SLURRY STORAGE The basic option is to store slurry in tanks. In terms of costs, tanks above ground are better than sunken tanks, and it makes it easier to check for manure leaks into the subsoil. We generally build high-capacity steel tanks (enamelled) or concrete of 3-10,000 m3. They are equipped with full mixing and pumping technology. Another alternative is storage in reservoirs in the earth. We have managed to develop a new type with double sheeting and a control system, which is much more stable and simpler to use than reservoirs used in the past. The cost is less than /m³. ROOFING FOR TANKS: Fitting a roof on the tanks is cheaper and easier. For this purpose we offer the following type of roofing: d floating (sheeting on floats) d tent made of sheeting on supports (also for large-diameter tanks) d metal roof (for smaller diameters) SLURRY PROCESSING The basic method of processing manure is homogenization before further processing or application. An ideal alternative is manure separation as the first stage of treatment. Separation reduces the amount of manure to be stored, solid manure, and the manure then does not need to be homogenized as often. The solid part sells well packed, makes compost or has other uses during the vegetation period. We offer a BAUER worm separator with an output of 8-15m3/hr. Tha FAN company developed a special separator PSS Green Beding for slurry separation for the purpose of using solid fractin as a bedding. Achieved dryness of the solid part is about 36%, thus about 6-7% higher then from the clasic worm separators. A liquid fraction can be cleaned in a centrifugal pump. BAUER offers biogass reactors with two-chamber system and an ideal flow of slurry. The ractor is designed as a concere or steel thermaly insulated reservoir with permanent gravity circulation. There are no mechanical parts in the reactor, meaning mixers, which allows to process the substrate with high concentration of materials (slurry up to 12%). This solution guarantees: d Reliability of operation d Increase of biological effectivness d High output of energy APPLICATION OF SLURRY For the basic application of slurry we recommend two different models of mobile tanks plastic and steel. The advantage is that the tanks are prefabricated, there is a patented axle structure and the adapters are precision-made and sturdy. We also offer CARGO transporters, where a high-quality 2-3 axle undercarriage can be used to carry different types of body tanks up to 29,000 lt, fertilizer spreader, tipping lorry and bodies for silage, straw, etc....designing with client in mind 50

52 STABLE CONSTRUCTIONS TUBULAR APPLICATORS Another method of our application is the belt irrigator BAUER Rainstar - Guellestar. The length of tubes can be adjusted according to your requirements. We can offer you a cemplete system including consols and sprayers. BAUER offers one of the most effective irrigation solution. SLURRY A MANURE COMPOSTERS An ideal mean of composting is a BAUER mobile or stationary device. It allows to compost manure or slurry in combination with other materials (straw and ther organic materials). The device we supply in four stationary versions and one mobile version. STABLE CONSTRUCTION We offer complete delivery of building work, reconstruction and new, ready-to-use constructions. Our design studio draws up the plans and in our plants we make all steel constructions as well as atypical structures to suit your requirements. BAUER light steel constructions are designed especially for light, single-storey halls for industry, agriculture and the building trade as production or servicing halls, warehouses and garages. The main support system comprises a fixed-beam frame with struts and cross-pieces made of IPE rolled sections and then fitted with trusses made of bent U-shaped sections and tubular horizontal bracing. CLADDING AND ROOFING OF STEEL STRUCTURES A steel shell can be encased with a variety of roof and wall panels (sandwich panel, wooden or concrete panel, AL sheeting, galvanized sheet-metal etc.). The roof can be fitted with panels up to a maximum weight of 30kg/m2. All material solutions we design with the client and an effectivity of operation in mind. 51

53 WATER RECYCLING WATER RECYCLING BAUER offers an economical system of sluice water recycling. The disinfection machine can be equipped with a system for draining the disinfection solution into a special tank. The water collected can then be used to rinse the floors and walls of the milking house or for cleaning gangways. It only collects service water with a disinfection solution, which is important from an ecological point of view as the acidity and alkalinity of the solution are neutralized in the tank. This facility significantly cuts water consumption. AFIWASH AfiWash is a programmable device for controlling a washing and disinfection system in milking parlors - CIP. AfiWash was built to support most of the existing CIP systems and techniques, whether incorporating a wash sink or not. AfiWash flexibility allows full control over cleaning regimes as well as of the design of each cleaning cycle. Four default wash programs may be modified to meet the cleaning requirements of the milking system. These wash programs may be sequenced to create a daily or weekly washing schedule. AfiWash cleaning programs may be modified via communication from any PC or laptop, or directly from the controller panel. Once a cleaning program and schedule has been created, it allows you to save it on you PC and later download it to any other AfiWash controller. Thus, once a cleaning program is designed, the installer may use it for all the other similar CIP systems. Vstupní a výstupní zařízení AfiWash řídí práci zařízení a ventilů, které jsou součástí proplachového systému. d Water Valves - Hot and cold water valves to supply the correct amount of water for each stage of the cleaning cycle. d Detergents & Acid Dispensers - 3 detergent and Acid dispensers may be controlled to provide the required concentration of detergent in the water. dthree-way Valve - For controlling circulation and drainage of the cleaning liquid. d Air Injection valve - This valve opens the system to atmospheric air for creating a slug and for proper cleaning of the milk pipes. d Receiver Vessel & Vacuum Pump - For draining residual milk before cleaning. d Milk Boost - For emptying the milk line between the milk pump and bulk tank. d Cleaning Indication- This output is used as an indication for the cleaning process. It may be used to activate a cleaning indicator lamp in the milking parlor or for automatic stoppage of the pre-cooling system during cleaning. d Milk Line Connection - This input ensures that the washing cycle starts when the milking line connection is in cleaning position. This safety measure avoids discharge of cleaning water/solution into the bulk tank. d Sink Water Level - Water float or other sensor for setting up the maximum water level in the sink. 52

54 WATER RECYCLING Setting up Cleaning Programs AfiWash cleaning programs are built in steps. Each step consists of a block that refers to one of the designated outputs described above and a timer determining the time for operating the output (i.e. the device connected to it). When setting up a cleaning program, the operation time for each block is set first then the steps are sequenced for a complete cleaning program. Once the different cleaning programs have been created, a schedule for a daily or weekly cleaning agenda may be built. Such a schedule, allows AfiWash to automatically select the correct cleaning program for each session. Main Benefits of AfiWash The main advantage of AfiWash is in its modularity and flexibility in controlling the cleaning programs. It fits almost every CIP system installed in the milking parlor, providing comprehensive control over every step of the cleaning process. Its capability to be connected to a PC provides easy programming and easy troubleshooting of the cleaning. AfiWash is design to protect the system from errors. It starts the washing cycle only if the piping is properly connected, stops washing when there is not enough water and provides a series of cleaning process fault alerts. This makes AfiWash the ultimate solution for controlling the cleaning process in any type of milking parlor. RINSING MILKING HOUSE STALLS We offer 2 simple systems for cleaning milking houses, which can easily be connected to the water recycling tank. - JET - PIPE The system can also combine clean water with the spray water at the entrance to milking houses. 53

Our range includes various types of doors, manually and electronically (remote) controlled, mesh and fin-heated. 54

56 VENTILATION AND COOLING SYSTEMS COOLING SYSTEMS BAUER cooling systems are an essential component in the creation of a quality microclimate for cattle. They can help us to eliminate the negative impact on production efficiency, health and the death rate. The development of BAUER systems was based on the fact that each category of animals needs a different dispersal system, droplet softness and quantity of water the air can absorb. Of crucial importance is the stable ventilation system and its capacity, and the positioning of ventilators and wall outlets. WE USE TWO WAYS OF REDUCING STABLE TEMPERATURE: d INCREASING AIR FLOW ventilators for room ventilation to reduce heat stress on cattle VENTILATOR TYPE FL065-6EZ.4I.3L Blade diameter: 650 mm Total diameter: 780 mm Volume of air: m 3 /h Supply voltage: 230 V Current: 3,3 A Regulation: Motor output: 0,74 kw Rev. speed: 870 min -1 Protection: IP 54 Weight: 19 kg Using a transformer, Electronic regulator with voltage control, or possibly a frequency converter Particularly for lowcapacity stables with low roofs; bracket allows angle to be adjusted between 0-30 for hanging on VENTILATOR TYPE FC080-6DQ.6K.3 chain Output: m 3 air / hr.

It has been proven that cows can exhibit the first symptoms of heat stress at a local temperature of as low as 22 C. These ventilators are, therefore not used only on hot summer days. The ventilators provide a pleasant, tunnel current of air which does not cause a harmful draught. This method of cooling cows is highly effective and allows them to be actively cooled to 34 C without using other methods of cooling (such as sprinkling, etc.).

57 VENTILATION AND COOLING SYSTEMS d DISPERSION OF WATER INTO AIR STREAM We offer an entire range of cooling systems using different techniques. The greater the requirements on a system, or rather the longer we intend to use it during the year or the more precisely we want to control it, the greater the pressure and the softer the jets must be used. Soft jets have a flow of lt/min, coarser jets generally have lt/min. In normal conditions the temperature is reduced by up to 5 C. BAUER TOP KLIMA BAUER TOP KLIMA Pa high-pressure systems are generally supplied with stainless piping, high-pressure jets and high-pressure pumps suitable for gentle water spraying, particularly on to poultry. BAUER MICROSPRAYMATIC BAUER MICRO-SPRAYMATIC stationary low-pressure systems (spraying) up to 60 Pa (PE pipes can be connected to water mains, coarser jets). A flow of It/hour sprays an area of around metres, i.e. the distance between the jets is metres. These systems are particularly attractive due to their low price. They are used when the temperature is extremely high. The system is ideal where animal faeces need to be regulated. d BAUER COOLING VENTILATOR SYSTEMS have jets or dispersed heads arranged around the perimeter. They can work with low pressure from water main pipes or with high pressure from a high-pressure pump. The practical range is metres. They also have a cooling effect due to air circulation. HYGROFAN ROTATOR The Hygrofan Rotator uses low water pressure of 1-6 bar, as the air is atomized by a rotating disk at the front.

60 MILKING HOUSE HEATING SYSTEMS FLOOR HEATING Electric heating for milking house floors For heated floors, which have a BAUER heating mat (cable) in a layer of concrete laid on a heat-insulated bed. The thickness of the concrete layer should not be less than 4-5cm. The thicker the layer, the greater the amount of heat accumulated. Direct heating of ceramic floor tiles using a heating mat has the advantage of being a low-lying system (less than 20 mm), can be installed on existing tiles without having to remove them, low heat inertia (making the system easy to adjust) and can be run on economy heating rate D 46, D 45, D 55. Hot-water heating for milking house floors Hot-water floor heating comprises of a set of plastic tubes laid on heat insulation and covered with a concrete mix (anhydrite compound). The system goes with waterheating facilities (boiler) and water circulating pump. The plastic pipes are laid either on specially-cut panels or are woven into the guide rails. They are quick and easy to lay and have a virtually unlimited service life. Insulation is always laid beneath the plastic pipes. RADIANT PANELS With radiant panels the heat is distributed mainly through radiation. Some of the radiant flow is reflected (approximately 15%) when it meets objects (walls, floor), although the greater part (approximately 85%) is absorbed by the objects it falls on. This causes radiant energy to be converted to heat energy (objects get warmer) and when the temperature of the objects rises, or when the temperature rises compared to the air, the heat is distributed by convection meaning the air is heated by the objects around it. 59

61 FEEDING SYSTEMS FEEDING MACHINE FOR CALVES In order to achieve a high yield of both milk and food it is necessary to have healthy rearing and fast-growing calves. A computer-controlled feeding machine can help to create ideal conditions. d Allows dosage of raw milk or dairy feed mix or a combination of both at the ratio 10-90% d The machine feeds up to 60 calves, ensures the correct composition of feed, dosing and records the amount received; compares the planned dose with the actual dose d Dividing the daily dose into smaller lots means that the starter is accepted earlier d Stable composition and temperature of feeding dose (temperature during mixing is C, when served, 39 C). Mixing in 0.5 litre batches calf does not get less than 0.5 lt or more than 2.5 lt per session d Allows each animal to be checked individually by means of a responder and antenna and gives an early warning signal if problems arise d Group nursing of calves allows free movement, which helps to strengthen bones and muscles d Reduced cost of feed and manpower Programmable control unit for up to 4 feeding curves and 77 days of feeding. AUTOMATIC FEEDING BOXES FOR DAIRY COWS Feeding box for feeding dairy cows with grain in a group. The control computer can allocate each milker up to 15 doses split into up to 7 portions. The cows are identified via an active or passive transponder. The accuracy of the dosing worm is +/- 5%, depending on the composition of feed. FEEDTROL FEEDING SYSTEM The aim of the FEEDTROL system is to eliminate losses caused by the difference between the planned and actual feeding for the herd. It can form part of any type of mixing feed trolley, either towed or self-propelled, which is fitted with a set of tensometric scales. FEEDTROL allows cattle breeders to print off a set based on updated data from a particular period. The cattle breeder works with clear feed charts to ensure that the feeding process is optimal and economical. Advantages of the system: success 60

62 AFTER MARKET STABLE EQUIPMENT SCRATCHING POSTS These are used for loose cattle in a stable, run or grazing. The scratching post helps to keep the herd calm and the animals comfortable in general. Side frame: Upper frame: Brushes: 1100x x70 700x150 DRINIKG TROUGHS For high cattle production efficiency the right amount of feeding water must be provided. We offer a wide range of feeding troughs in different designs and sizes: d tempered feeding troughs 1-2 m long d untempered feeding troughs 1-2 m long d stainless steel or plastic d high-capacity troughs up to 200 litres in volume TROUGHS: In modern cattle stables, which respect animal welfare requirements and where temperatures in winter drop below freezing, one must provide an animal feed system that does not freeze. At present two feeding systems are used. The first system uses a central heating unit (electrical boiler), which heats the water piped to the stables from one feeding trough to the next and then back to the heating unit, so the circuit is closed and the heated water keeps circulating. The same circulation pipes also top up the feeding troughs. This system has the advantage of being simple, although it is better for smaller stables with a shorter feed water distribution system. It is expensive to run the standard 3,000-watt heating unit is used for systems with a maximum of 3 or 4 feeding troughs. stand (L х W х H) trough (L х W х H) weight volume of water amount of animals water connection NVCO x550x450 mm 1000x350x200 mm 80 kg 60l 15 až 20 ks 1/2 NVCO x550x450 mm 1750x350x200 mm 95 kg 110 l 25 až 35 ks 1/2 61

63 AFTER MARKET STABLE EQUIPMENT The second system uses separately heated feeding troughs and a water distribution system deep underground where it will not freeze (or is protected against freezing by an 8 W/m electrical heating cable). Feeding troughs produced by Agromont Vimperk have a wattage of 150 to 450 W (depending on the volume of water) and the troughs also have a connection protector on the water mains pipe (heated cable). The troughs are heated by heating cables built into the stables. The troughs are connected to a 230 V electricity supply via a central room thermostat, which activates the heating when the temperature drops below + 5 C and via a current protector which ensures that the electrical wiring is safe (automatically cuts the power when touched or when there is a surge). The advantage of this system is the cheaper purchase price (save a complete central heating unit) and lower running costs energy consumption is many times lower. With larger stables this makes a big difference - e.g. for stables for approximately 200 with 7 troughs the savings, compared to a system with a central heating unit, is approximately 80 to 100 kwh per day.

67 MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT GRIND BAGGER The grinder bagger combines grain and other crops, crushing with the best fodder storage system: the bagging system. On the bagger with a tunnel diameter of 6.5 ft (2.00 metres) we fitted a high-quality cylindrical grinder. Grinding and bagging are now combined into one easy-to-control machine, thus saving you time and energy. Advantage of the cylindrical grinder The advantage of the cylindrical grinder is the marked savings on energy costs, up to 70% when coarse grinding for poultry and from 30% to 50% when fine grinding for pigs. If we consider the structure of the material to be processed, its digestibility, it makes the production of fodder much more efficient, particularly for poultry and cattle. The specially developed grinding cylinders can process grain with a solid content of 60% to 85%. Side-products of the food industry The GB6 can also process by-products such as sugarbeet strips and spent brewery grains. The cylindrical grinder and storage hopper are substituted by a special hopper. This has a hydraulically-powered ruffling spindle which prevents the hopper from getting blocked. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF THE GB6 PARAMETERS OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES: HYDRAULIC MANIPULATORS lengths as a universal means of manipulation. FEED SHOVELLER A new system for shovelling feed to troughs. Greatly increases the feed intake and production efficiency of dairy cattle. The shoveller travels automatically up to 30 times per day along the feeding table and shovels scattered food back into the trough. The shoveller can also flavour the shovelled feed with a small amount of kernels, which further stimulates the animals to feed. The movement of the machine is computer-controlled. The machine is it remains in the parked position and is automatically connected to the charger and charged. The shoveller travels along a rail in a channel; it has a height-adjustable strip which folds back when it hits an obstacle. The machine can also travel around bends and so can be used in two-row feeding tables. 66

68 MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT MB-01 MANIPULATOR The MB 01 manipulator MB 01 is for handling standard round hay bales. It is pulled behind a tractor on a three-point linkage and is connected to the tractor s hydraulic system. It makes manipulation easy the built-in hydraulic piston, controlled by the tractor s hydraulic system, ensures that the bales are gripped firmly and the vertical position of the bale can be adjusted using the three-point linkage. Its simple and robust construction means it is fast and maximum load: 700 kg breakdown-free. The narrow weight: 55 kg width of the boom means inner diameter: 1120mm (for bales 130 cm in diameter) that the feed is quickly put in place when the bale is in the upper position it is easy to remove the plastic from the bottom, and when the bale has been lowered the rest of the plastic sheeting can be pulled off. MILK TROLLEY FOR CALVES We produce these in stainless steel, 130 l, 180 l, 260 l volume, either heated or unheated. The milk trolley is used to take milk to calves, heated if required. The stainless steel container is easy to clean and has a double bottom, on the back of which there are two heating elements. There is a water gauge for reading the water level and a thermostat controls the milk temperature. On the front there is a release tap with a hose for transferring the milk to the trough. A heating control panel is supplied with the trolley. This trolley saves you a great deal of time when feeding your calves and milk is served at the optimum temperature, particularly in winter.
