Precision Feeding with EVONIR on Self-Propelled at Bakkergården Mælk APS, Denmark

Improving Dairy Feeding with the EVONIR on self-propelled feed mixer

At Bakkergården Mælk APS in Grenaa, Denmark, feeding 530 high-producing dairy cows requires precision, consistency, and efficiency. However, variations in the dry matter content of silage were causing inconsistent rations, feed waste, and poor nutritional accuracy. As a result, animal performance and farm profitability were being affected.

To solve this, the farm adopted EVONIR installed on a self-propelled feed mixer, enabling real-time analysis of the silage’s dry matter content during loading.

Key Results

• Greater Mix Homogeneity: Thanks to real-time NIR analysis, each batch hits the correct dry matter target.
  As a result, cows receive more uniform and nutritionally balanced rations.
• Reduced Feed Waste: The system minimizes over- or under-feeding through automatic adjustments. Consequently, the farm uses raw materials more efficiently and reduces losses.
• Improved Time and Labor Efficiency: There’s no need for manual sampling or waiting for lab results. Instant data allows quicker and better-informed decisions every day.
• Enhanced Herd Performance: With more consistent feeding, cows show improved intake and productivity. This leads to better overall herd performance.

“With EVONIR, we finally have control over what we’re really feeding our cows. The system reacts in real time, which has made our feedings far more consistent and efficient.” — Nikolaj Gitz, Co-owner of Bakkergården Mælk APS

About EVONIR

EVONIR is an advanced Near Infrared (NIR) analyzer developed by Dinamica Generale. It measures dry matter, protein, fiber, starch, and other key parameters in real time.

Importantly, EVONIR works on multiple machines: feed mixers, forage harvesters, balers, wagons, and more. It provides farmers with accurate data, helping them optimize feeding and forage strategies based on facts—not assumptions.
EVONIR on self propelled mixers measures dry matter and key nutrients in real time, ensuring precise and consistent ration preparation. The system automatically recalculates the weight to be loaded for each component, optimizing feed accuracy.

Conclusion

Bakkergården Mælk APS showcases the potential of smart dairy farming. By integrating EVONIR into their daily operations, the team improved feeding efficiency, reduced waste, and ensured high-level nutritional precision one batch at a time.
