This year’s Dairy Event provided a showcase for all things robotic in the milking parlour, as well as novel cluster technology and new feeding machines.

We ask four other manufacturers to highlight what’s special about their machines, and why dairy farmers should be buying them. First off is West Sussex firm ADF Milking, who won this year’s RABDF Livestock Machinery and Equipment Award for its automated teat dipping and flushing system.
