The CalfRail DUO moves fully automatically to the double boxes on a rail mounted above the boxes and feeds animal-specific portions of fresh milk or milk replacer.
The floating CalfRail DUO guarantees absolute ground clearance. In addition, the two drinking arms swing freely in the air to simulate natural drinking behavior. All relevant data on drinking behavior, such as rations called up and drinking speed, is recorded and stored for each drinking arm. This allows you to keep an eye on the drinking behavior of each drinking arm and take immediate action in the event of anomalies. The CalfRail DUO also cleans the system fully automatically. Small barns, large barns, new buildings or existing buildings – the CalfRail DUO is a modular system that adapts to every farm. We will be happy to advise you on the requirements and support you with the planning.

OPERATION.
BEHIND THIS IS ALWAYS AN INTELLIGENT AUTOMATIC SYSTEM.
Like all feeding stations, the CalfRail is controlled by the VARIO smart automatic feeder and supplied with drinking portions. A VARIO smart simultaneously supplies calves in individual and group housing. The VARIO smart is operated on site using the proven hand-held terminal or the optional 10-inch touch display. This provides a clear user interface with descriptive graphics and visual operating instructions. Entering the amount of feed for each individual calf, accessing all animal-specific data (calf file) or identifying problem animals can be easily done even by untrained personnel. Via the CalfCloud, this can also be done online with any mobile device from any location. When moving, CalfRail calves can easily be assigned to a group. The calf data are automatically transferred and provide you with the perfect overview of the entire rearing period.
FEED HOLDER FOR QUICK TRAINING OF THE CALVES.
CalfRail and CalfRail DUO are ideal for automatic calf feeding in single and pair housing. In order to achieve sufficient and regular feed intake, it is important to teach young animals to use the CalfRail at an early stage. Ideally, the calf must already learn to stretch its head completely out of the box during colostrum feeding in order to reach the teat. The newly developed height-adjustable feed holder for bottles or teat buckets makes it easier to provide calves with colostrum and at the same time gets the animals used to CalfRail feeding. For feeding, the feed holder is positioned in such a way that the calf has to stretch its head completely out of the box to get the feed. This relieves the staff and significantly shortens the training phase.
THE ADVANTAGES OF THE CALFRAIL AT A GLANCE:
- Two calves in one box can be fed at the same time.
- Time independence thanks to automated feeding system
- Loss of routine tasks such as feed preparation and bucket cleaning
- High-performance and healthy animals through intensive feeding right from the start
- Quick and easy accustoming thanks to the training button
- Always freshly prepared drink with optimum drinking temperature
- Individual and age-appropriate portions for pairs
- Documentation of feed intake via the automatic feeder
- Best hygiene thanks to automatic cleaning
