Boost Calf Health with Urban Alma Pro Feeders - Installed by McCaskie Engineering

In the world of modern dairy farming, ensuring calves receive optimal nutrition from the start is essential for long-term herd health and productivity. The Urban Alma Pro Calf Feeders provide an innovative solution that not only ensures species-appropriate feeding but also integrates seamlessly into any dairy farm. At McCaskie Agriculture, our skilled engineering division is dedicated to providing expert installation and testing services for these feeders, ensuring your calves are given the best start in life.

Alma Pro: The Smart Calf Feeder for Future-Oriented Farms

The Urban Alma Pro Feeder is designed to automate calf feeding with precision, delivering consistent milk feedings throughout the day. The feeder uses advanced sensor technology to track each calf’s feeding habits and health, allowing farmers to focus on other vital farm operations while maintaining optimal calf growth.

Key features of the Alma Pro include:

Individualised Feeding

With the ability to set personalised feeding curves for each calf, the Alma Pro ensures that the right amount of milk is provided at the right times. This approach supports healthy metabolic programming and promotes improved weight gain.

Constant Milk Temperature and Concentration

Three temperature sensors and a spiral dosing system ensure the milk is always at the perfect temperature and concentration, helping to avoid digestive issues and optimise nutrition.

Comprehensive Health Monitoring

The feeder automatically collects and analyses data on each calf’s feeding patterns, alerting farmers to any early signs of health issues, so problems can be addressed proactively.

The automation and technology behind the Alma Pro make it a game-changer for calf rearing, providing both labor savings and improved animal welfare.

The Milk Shuttle: Enhancing Efficiency in Calf Feeding

For farmers who prefer to feed whole milk, the Urban Milk Shuttle is the ideal complement to the Alma Pro system. The Milk Shuttle allows for easy transport of whole milk directly to the feeding stations, simplifying the process of getting fresh milk to your calves. With a capacity for large volumes and built-in heating capabilities, the Milk Shuttle ensures that the milk is delivered at the optimal temperature, maintaining high nutritional quality.

Urban Milk Shuttle

Key features of the Milk Shuttle include:

• Easy Milk Transport

  The Milk Shuttle’s ergonomic design allows farmers to easily transport milk across the farm, reducing the physical effort required in daily feeding routines

• Consistent Temperature Control

  Like the Alma Pro Feeder, the Milk Shuttle ensures milk is delivered at a consistent temperature, which is vital for maintaining calf health and avoiding digestive issues

• Large Capacity

  With the ability to hold and transport significant volumes of milk, the Milk Shuttle is perfect for larger herds, making the feeding process more efficient and less labor-intensive.

By integrating the Milk Shuttle into your feeding operations, you can streamline the entire milk delivery process, saving time and ensuring that your calves receive the freshest, highest-quality milk at every feeding.

Maximizing Efficiency and Calf Health

The installation of an Alma Pro Feeder by McCaskie engineers means that you can expect significant improvements in both calf health and farm efficiency. The automation provided by the feeder reduces manual labor, ensuring consistent and hygienic milk delivery without the need for constant supervision. Additionally, by continuously monitoring the calves’ health and feeding patterns, the feeder helps prevent health issues, promoting stronger, healthier calves.

With the Milk Shuttle further simplifying the transportation and temperature regulation of milk, your feeding operation becomes even more efficient, allowing you to focus on other critical areas of farm management.
