Individualized Feeding

AfiFeed

Control feed for every cow

AfiFeed is an individualized feeding system that automatically responds to each cow’s needs. Installed either in housing areas or in the parlor, AfiFeed distributes concentrate to each cow based on real-time data, lifecycle stage and performance – giving producers precise control over feed allocation while reducing waste and boosting production. 

Why Choose AfiFeed

Reduce Feed Costs

Precision feeding ensures cows only receive what they need based on yield weight, stage and other parameters.

Support Health

Limit sudden ration changes, avoiding overfeeding and make gradual adjustments to maintain rumen stability.

Automate Feeding

Save time with feed strategies that automatically shift based on transition stages, reproductive status and performance.

Enhance Grazing Systems

Ensure every cow gets the right supplement at the right time to help boost production without increasing concentrate cost.

Combine AfiFeed and AfiLab for custom feeding based on milk quality.

AfiFeed in Action

01

Automated Individual Feeding

Each feeding station identifies the cow by her sensor and then dispenses a personalized ration from up to four different solid feeds that are mixed on demand. AfiFarm’s feeding program assigns the correct menu based on lifecycle and performance.  

02

Custom Menu Strategies

AfiFeed offers five menus that update automatically as cows move between lactation and reproduction stages.  

  • None: no concentrate (e.g., animals without feeders) 
  • Fixed: constant allocation for a lifecycle segment 
  • Target: gradually reach a predefined amount 
  • Range: feed based on yield, weight or FCM 
  • EB Ranges: ration according to energy balance and performance ratio 

Producers can override the program at any time with bonus feed, stop feed or manual feeding orders. 

03

Data Powered Feeding to Support Production

AfiFeed leverages AfiFarm intelligence and real-time data from MPC/milk meters, AfiWeigh and AfiLab to build smart, adaptive menus for each cow based on yield, body weight, milk components and lifecycle stage. Integrated reports on consumption, feeding efficiency and feeder behavior give producers a clear picture of how cows eat and perform, enabling precise adjustments.

With this unified data stream, AfiFeed helps reduce concentrate costs while supporting healthier cows and stronger, more efficient production. 

REAL STORIES

One thing that I really, really like is the feed yield, because you can manipulate it so much to an individual animal or to a group of animals that can be first carvers, it gives you great control and great care and management of your cows.

The improvements we've seen since putting the AfiFeed in is the the accuracy of target feeding of the the cow at the right point of lactation. We've probably seen about a litre and a half increase per day at that peak.
