In this podcast episode, Dr. Andreas Steinwidder speaks with Dr. Marco Horn about which factors are truly decisive and what farms should pay attention to when starting out. Dr. Horn is an expert in dairy farming, udder health, and milking technology – and as head of the working groups on milk production, he supports many farms that have successfully switched to automatic milking systems.
We examine the questions farms should ask themselves before investing, how workflows change, and the role of barn construction, feeding, and animal health. Economic aspects and the combination of pasture grazing and milking robots are also discussed.
A practical episode for anyone facing a decision or wanting to optimize their existing system.
