10 YEARS ON & WE STILL LOVE “We can’t imagine life without ADF. We have saved around 20 minutes per milking and we spend less money on antibiotics as mastitis cases have massively reduced.” ADF Milking customers Ian & Jo Trotter and family are proud to have been milking with ADF for over 10 years. Dairy farmers around the world are benefiting from ADF’s innovative automatic dipping and flushing system. THE ADF SYSTEM TO DISCOVER MORE VISIT www.ADFmilking.com/nz OR FIND US ON Kiwi dairy farmers using ADF Milking’s innovative automatic teat dipping and liner lushing system are loving the multiple bene its it is producing. Available as a seamless add-on to new or existing milking sheds with automatic cluster removers, the ADF System is producing proven results, saving farmers time and money as well as improving herd health. ADF Milking has installed its award winning dipping and lushing system throughout the world on all cow shed types, makes and con igurations. The ADF System automates a crucial part of the milking routine, removing human error, protecting cows from disease and saving time by ensuring that cows’ teats are automatically dipped and liners automatically lushed at the right time, every time. Excellent results from automated system Sanitised cup liners are presented in correct orientation, ready for milking and as the vacuum is shut o , teat dip is injected into a manifold on the claw piece. Teat dip, comprising emollients and sanitiser, is sprayed onto the teat at the optimum angle using ADF’s dual injection technology while still inside the liner. Teats are dipped and protected within seconds of milking being completed and before exposure to harmful contagions in the environment. After removal of the milking cluster, every liner is sanitised and thoroughly rinsed six times ready for the next cow. For a 200 cow herd, the faster throughput due to the e iciency of the system can equate to saving 500 labour hours a year for a herd milked twice a day. Headquartered in the United Kingdom, ADF Milking has been operating in New Zealand since 2010. Founder James Duke says the company’s commitment to improving cow health means it is continuously developing the ADF Milking system by harnessing the latest technology and design ideas. “I am proud that ADF is recognised in the industry for its innovative design philosophy. I love working closely with farmers. The joy we get from hearing how the ADF System has improved the health of their herds gives me immense satisfaction.” Matakana couple Ian and Jo Trotter are among the dairy farmers who have been reaping the bene its of the ADF Milking system, in their case for more than a decade. “We still love it,” Jo says. “It saves time not having to manually teat spray and all teats get an even amount of spray. We have saved time and money not having to treat mastitis cows and there is no cross contamination between cows. We have total peace of mind that mastitis won’t be passed from cow to cow.” As well as saving around 20 minutes per milking due to not manually teat spraying cows or manually removing cups, they have also saved a considerable amount in vet bills due to improved cow health. South Otago farmers Barry Pannett and Alasdair Brown say that their use of antibiotics has halved since the ADF System was installed. “The ADF System is excellent. For us, it means not only that we can save money, but also that we were able to increase our production because we can milk more cows in the herd. We are happy and the cows are happy.”
