It is well known that continuous availability of fresh fodder results in increased dry matter intake and increased milk production. In addition, frequent feeding has a positive impact on general animal health. Quite often, labour is the limiting factor in making fresh feed available to cows around the clock. Thanks to the Lely Juno, this problem is a thing of the past.

7. Why Juno?
From feed to milk
• Cows spend 3 - 5 hours a day eating
• They consume 7 - 10 meals a day
• They ruminate 7 - 10 hours a day
• +/- 20 kg dry matter a day
• Fibre particles remain in the rumen: 20 - 48 hours

8. Why Juno?
Feed management
Is all about
• Feed bunk design
• Feed quality
• Feeding frequency
• Feed push-ups

9. Why Juno?
Feed push-ups
• Prevents de-mixing/ selection of the roughage
• ‘Motivates’ cows to eat
• Constant feed available
• Improves cow health since cows do not need to push their
shoulders against the feed fence
• Improves feeding table hygiene due to more push ups

10. Why Juno?
Activate cows to eat

19. Juno 100 – 150; the differences
The power of Juno 100
• More compact, making it
suitable for every barn
- perfect for smaller feed alleys
- less obstruction
• Attractive price
• Can push the same weight,
height and distance as Juno 150
with higher speed

20. Juno 100 – 150; the differences
The power of Juno 150
• Excellently suitable for outside use
- Drives on open feeding alleys (open
ridges and open feeding alleys on
the outside)
- Performs routings between two barns
• Charging and ultrasound sensor
possible on both sides
• Needs less space for approaching
its charging station

21. Juno 100 – 150; the differences
E-link
Juno 100 Juno 150
• Outside, disconnectable • Inside, underneath the cover
• Storage tray can be mounted
in the barn or in the office

22. Juno 100 – 150; the differences
Collision detector
Juno 100
1. No electric pulse device in the rubber ring of the collision
detector (different material and software solution)
2. Safety bar (child protection) not necessary, because
diameter, type of rubber and space underneath the skirt
are different

23. Juno 100 – 150; the differences
Product specifications
Juno 100 & 150
• Push height: no more than 65 cm
• Push width: less than 200 cm
• Push weight: approx. 350 kg max.

26. New software; dynamic pushing
What is dynamic pushing?
• No pre-determined distance to the feed fence
• Based on the amount of feed/ back pressure
• Merely involves pre-setting the route, minimal distance to
the feed fence and filling in the time plan
• Can be set for 4 different
feed types:
• Extra light
• Light
• Normal
• Heavy

27. New software; dynamic pushing
• Not every feeding place has the same amount of feed
• Because of number of cows eating at specific feed place
• Because of bringing feed on feed alley by tractor/ mixer wagon
• When you do not have a regular feeding pattern
• Because of variety (F.e. day 1 and 2 feeding once every 2 days, day 3
feeding twice a day, day 4 different feeding times every day.)

Why do farmers recommend the Juno to fellow dairy farmers?

32. Customer satisfaction
Customer comments
• With more than 1 cow per feeding place the demand for
constant feed availability is high - the Lely Juno feed
pusher is the solution.
• Less cows on the attention list owing to improved cow
traffic./ Stimulates the cows to come to the feed fence.
• Low-ranking cows benefit from continuous feed
availability.
• More tranquility in the barn.

33. Customer satisfaction
Customer comments
• No need to open the big doors during the cold winter
days for the tractor.
• No heavy or time-consuming work.
• Reliable and gives the farmer even more flexibility.
• The result is a nice, virtually empty feed bunk.
