Installation and getting startedA project that starts
A project that starts
in your building.
The rail route, pen alignment and calves’ access to the teat determine the layout. AGYE and your distributor review these points with you.
Teaching young calves to drink is also part of getting started: access to the teat must be prepared and supported.
Questions to consider.
Can CalfRail be installed in an existing building?
This requires a layout assessment: pen arrangement, rail route and mounting, access and utility connections. A plan and building photographs help prepare the first discussion.
Is my automatic feeder compatible?
The feeder model, generation and configuration must be checked. CalfRail DUO documentation specifically mentions VARIO smart; AGYE confirms the combination suitable for your equipment before proposing an installation.
What is the difference between CalfRail and CalfRail DUO?
CalfRail is presented for individual pens. The DUO version has two arms to feed two calves simultaneously in a paired pen.
Is cleaning automatic?
The system includes automated cleaning. This does not replace hygiene checks, maintenance and the procedures specified in your installation’s documentation.
