2. Refresh your parlor stalls
Shiny spots or wear points on stalls can indicate your cows have pressure points on them and are uncomfortable during milking. Consider upgrading your stalls to comfortably position cows and make it easier for employees to access the udder. You’ll also benefit from new levels of parlor efficiency and cow throughput.
New Magnum LPS and Global LPS stalls provide:
• Ability to retrofit any brand of parlor
• Fast, simple installation
• Vertical lift rapid exit
• Low-profile, customizable stall sizes

What if you could adjust your teat dips on-demand? You can with the new IntelliBlend XP teat dip blending system.

4. Automate the teat-dipping process
Save time and better utilize your parlor labor by pre- and post-dipping cows on the way to and from the parlor. Using multi-sensor technology, the IntelliSpray XP tracks cows as they walk through the system for the ultimate spray accuracy.
Customize the sprayer to meet your herd needs by adjusting spray duration and pressure. The system works with iodine, chlorine dioxide and hydrogen peroxide teat dips.
