Propositions

Barn cleaning

Efficient barn cleaning is essential for maintaining animal health and farm productivity. Our robotic cleaning solutions ensure consistent and thorough removal of manure, reducing labour and contributing to optimal cow health. The Discovery Scraper and Discovery Collector are compact and navigate autonomously, allowing them to reach almost all areas of the barn, and making them easy to integrate into your existing barn layout.

Robotic solutions for a clean barn floor

  • Reduced labor effort

    The Discovery manure robots work day and night to keep the barn floor clean, taking a dirty, time-consuming, and repetitive task off your hands.

  • Herd health

    Herd health

    A regularly cleaned barn floor contributes to cleaner hooves, tails and stalls, which results in cleaner udders, helping to reduce infections and support the natural behaviour of cows. 

  • Flexibility in all barns

    Lely Discovery manure robots require no cables or gutters, are compact and use sensors to navigate autonomously, enabling them to move easily under sorting gates, in cross alleys and in the waiting area in front of the milking robot and making them easy to integrate in the barn.
