Philosophy

The world’s population is growing and with it the demand for dairy and meat products. Just as children are the future of society, calves are the future of dairy farms. Society now demands sustainability in all dimensions, while milk producers demand profitability under all conditions.
More than ever, economy, ecology and animal welfare must be harmonized. For more than 50 years, Förster-Technik has been supporting dairy farms worldwide with calf feeding and is an innovation leader in the calf barn. FörsterTechnik stands for growth. For healthy calf growth, for economic growth of dairy farms and for sustainable growth of the company itself.

FAMILY-OWNED COMPANY IN THE SECOND GENERATION.

Deep-rooted in Engen next to the Lake of Constance and showing worldwide presence, the Förster-Technik recipe for success is clear: general technical innovations are constantly being integrated into the product portfolio. Innovations that make work easier for dairy farmers, provide more information about each individual calf thus generating more productive animals. The exchange with agricultural universities around the world and daily contact with practitioners are just as helpful here. Sales and service cooperations with the leading milking system manufacturers and dealers are the best proof of the high performance of Förster-Technik products. All international markets are thus optimally developed and served.  

 

TURNING STRONG CALVES INTO STRONG COWS.

The automatic feeder has made Förster-Technik successful worldwide.
Over 80,000 devices have been produced to date.
The idea and technology are unique.
The automatic feeder feeds the calves around the clock and reliably monitors and records feeding.
Over the years, simple automatic feeders have become highly specialized feeding systems for every stage of a calf’s life.
The 40FIT feeding program, the ColostroFIT management system, the MilchMobil NEXT, the CalfRail for feeding in individual housing, the HygieneBox for germ-free group feeding, the concentrate feeders, the CalfCloud APP, CalfAppGo! or CalfApp VITAL – each individual product significantly reduces the workload of the dairy farmer, increases the level of information for the calf manager and thus helps to turn strong calves into strong cows.
