Our Verdict: Complete feeding automation. Frequent fresh TMR delivery measurably increases milk production.

The Lely Vector is a fully autonomous feeding system that takes over the entire feeding process in dairy operations. It automatically loads roughage from a storage kitchen, mixes a total mixed ration (TMR), and delivers precise portions to different animal groups throughout the day — all without human intervention.

By delivering fresh feed in small, frequent portions rather than the traditional 1-2 large feedings per day, the Vector ensures cattle always have access to fresh, palatable feed. This frequent feeding approach has been shown to increase dry matter intake by up to 5%, directly boosting milk production while reducing feed waste and sorting behavior.
