The Agri-Expo Livestock is based in the Western Cape and focuses on farming, research, agricultural produce and equipment. Some of the products on display at this year's event include specialised dairy machinery and hygiene chemicals from GEA Farm Technologies. Among the chemicals are some of its newly-developed cattle pre- and post-dips, for farmers to test.
"We're looking forward to participating in this year's exhibition", says Darren Hutcheson, Sales Manager at GEA Farm Technologies, South Africa, "And feel it the ideal opportunity to present our IQ Cluster and ClassicPro Teat Liner to the crème de le crème of South Africa's dairy and agricultural farmers".
The IQ Cluster records milk for each milking quarter, prevents leaking during attachment and milking, reduces cross-contamination from teat-to-teat for enhanced udder health, and quickly and gently directs the milk, without turbulence, to a central outlet increasing the cluster capacity. Other advantages include:
The ClassicPro Teat Liner provides animal-comfort, economical milking due to a moveable head that offers an optimal udder fit, and can be adjusted to a low vacuum. It provides fast and complete milk extraction via a reliable bond of the cluster to the udder, while the soft design of the shaft ensures optimal teat massaging in the stimulation, milking and discharge phases. Other benefits include:
