Time Saving

• Using a Mobile Milking Unit (MMU) a farmer can save

• 30 working hours per cow per year

• 608 working hours/25 days per 20 cows per year

Benefits milking systems

Enables growth

• According to IFCN we will see more and more small farmers going directly from basic equipment to more advanced equipment

Taking the 1st step for a small farmer increase the possibilities to take the 2nd step
