In fact, primiparous milk production showed significant improvement in the trained animals, with an <b>average of + 2.6 kg of milk<\/b>. Adult cows in the second year of testing also showed an\u00a0increase of 1.5 kg, on average.<\/p><p>We can therefore conclude that introducing heifers to robotic milkers pre-calving is a\u00a0strategy that is worth the effort. Findings show an average gain of 1.1 kg above the average increase for adult cows. If we extrapolate, this means training can result in an additional 250 &#8211; 300 kg on a heifer\u2019s annual production.<\/p><h3>Helpful tips for heifer training<\/h3><p>Yes, training heifers on the robot before calving is profitable, but it is important to do it BEFORE the calving preparation period begins. Bringing the animal to the robot daily\u00a0could run the risk of reducing ration intake. You will not need to serve a lot of concentrates; 1-2 kg per day is plenty.<\/p><p>A feeding station behind the robot to distribute concentrates to cows in the pre-calving period can also be convenient to help heifers get used to receiving concentrates from a distributor before calving. In this case, you can introduce the heifers a few days in advance in the pre-calving cow group to get used to the feeding station.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-650f13e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"
