Unilight's Dairy Light can improve farmers cash flow by £2926 per month!

Hi - I'm attaching the latest release from Unilight. A farm using the Company's LED Dairy Light has recently been independently accessed with amazing results. Showing payback of all capital expenditure in months rather than years, farmers can cut cow numbers and/or feed costs or increase yield, with almost immediate cash flow benefits.

Kind Regards

Unilight's Dairy Light can improve farmers cash flow by £2926 per month!

 

240 cow farm using Unilight's Dairy Light has recently undergone an independent assessment by Alltech E-CO2, (the leading supplier of agricultural sustainability measurement and mitigation services). The data generated over a three-month period reveals that based on a herd of 200 cows and 10,000 litres of milk, cost savings of 1.8 ppl (pence per litre)are achieved.Lower concentrate feed rate generates £210 savings per cow per year from a capital cost of £90 per cow. Time spent by cows idling potentially unproductively in passageways was almost negated. The cows are milked twice daily achieving 10,300 litres per cow milk sales; they are housed partly in building with 3 rows of hooped cubicles with feed passage on mats and partly in a kennel building with similar beds
David Hardy from Unilight commented "We are delighted with this report - the first independent recording we have based on farm generated data before and after installation. Research always suggested such responses were achievable but we now have the evidence! With payback of all capital expenditure in months rather than years, farmers can cut cow numbers and/or feed costs or increase yield, with almost immediate cash flow benefits."
Data generated by pedometers also recorded an increase in lying times of ¾ hour in a 24-hour period with cows spending more time either eating, drinking or lying down. Time spent by cows idling potentially unproductively in passageways was almost negated.
