In Nortrup, Germany, a farming operation carefully balances 280 beef cattle and arable farming. Managed by Sören Diersing Espenhorst, their daily feeding routine involves distributing a moist Total Mixed Ration (TMR) with a vertical mixer, typically refreshed in the evening. However, ensuring consistent feed access, especially during peak fieldwork seasons, posed a challenge—until they introduced the Nimbo Plus Feed Pusher Robot.
Why Nimbo Plus? Tackling Elevated Barn Floors and Busy Schedules
When you're balancing a busy dairy farm, you can imagine it's less than ideal having to head out to the barn late in the evening to push feed. With an automated feed pusher, that problem quickly solves itself.
With full app and remote management, Sveaverken's robotic feed pusher is designed for complete hands-free, automated feed pushing and any hour of the day. Just install the base station, map the feeding area... And push!
Unlike standard feed pushers, Nimbo Plus Feed Pusher robot also features a unique skirt-lifting design, ideal for farms with varying barn terrains. At Diersing-Espenhorst, the barn floor sits 30-40 cm higher than surrounding areas. Nimbo Plus can also easily handle inclines up to 27%!
“With Nimbo Plus, we no longer need to head out to the barn after dinner,” Sören explains. “It automatically keeps the feed within reach, even when we’re busy with fieldwork.”
Key Benefits of the Nimbo Plus Feed Pusher
The skirt-lifting function allows the Nimbo Plus to effortlessly navigate uneven barn surfaces without dragging in debris.
With incline management, it handles slopes of up to 27%, making it ideal for barns with multi-level structures. Automated feed pushing ensures cattle always have access to fresh feed, even during busy farming seasons.
The clean feeding area feature prevents dirt from outside areas from contaminating the feed table. Designed for ease of use, the Nimbo Plus offers a user-friendly operation, with simple setup and remote monitoring via a mobile app.
A Smarter Approach to Cattle Feeding
Since installing the Nimbo Plus, Diersing-Espenhorst GmbH has seen improved feed availability, healthier cattle, and a noticeable drop in manual labor. That's the power of an automated cattle feeding robot like Sveaverken's solution.
“Nimbo Plus has truly simplified our daily operations,” Sören concludes. “It’s reliable, efficient, and fits perfectly with our workflow.”
