Lely Center Mullingar, in conjunction with its three customers in the counties of Meath, Galway and Tipperary, is hosting a series of open days to showcase agritech products working on dairy farms.

On view will be the Lely Astronaut milking robot; SenseHub heat detection and health monitoring collars; Lely Collector/Discovery automatic scrapers; Automated footbaths; and much more. 

All three farms are 100% grass-based and are all spring-calving and range in size from 80-240 cows. Two of the farms have upgraded from milking parlours to robotic milking systems, and the third farm was a new entrant back in 2015.

All are invited to see agritech in action at its best. To register for this event, click here.
