Lely has said it sees reliance on the Vector’s continued growth going forward. The one-thousandth Lely Vector left the company's production line on Tuesday, having doubled production of the system in the past three years. The Vector feeding system is now used in 31 countries on a wide variety of dairy and beef cattle farms. “Over the past decade, we have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience with automatic feeding,” product manager feeding at Lely International Jelmer Ham has said. “We listened to our customers, conducted research and tried new things. In doing so, we relied on proven principles of automatic feeding and improved a large part of the system.”
