AN INTEGRATED APPROACH
From feed conversion to animal performance.
The highest-value livestock decisions sit between equipment and information. Presnost helps connect feed preparation, identification, weighing, health, welfare and milk handling so managers can see what is happening and act earlier.
SOLUTION AREAS
Technology and equipment around the animal.
Solutions can be supplied individually or planned as a connected programme. Selection depends on herd size, species, production target, labour model, infrastructure and service environment.
Identification & herd records
Ear tags, neck collars and compatible transponders linked to mobile and desktop records for health, breeding, pregnancy and production events.
Weighing & performance
Static or in-motion animal weighing, sorting and marking options, with results available for timely management decisions.
Health & reproduction
Boluses, collars and leg sensors for heat detection, rumination, activity, temperature and early health alerts, supported by veterinary diagnostic equipment.
Youngstock & animal comfort
Manual and automatic calf or kid feeding, brushes, ventilation and cooling systems designed to support welfare and consistent early growth.
Milking & dairy processing
Mobile and parlour milking options, milk cooling, pasteurising and small-batch cheese, yoghurt and butter processing for value addition on or near the farm.
Security & waste systems
Electric fencing, solar energisers, manure-handling equipment, biomass processing and turnkey biogas concepts for safer, cleaner operations.
Consultancy & project delivery
Animal-housing design, equipment procurement, livestock sourcing coordination and turnkey milk-processing support developed around the business plan.
FEED MIXER SYSTEMS
Build the daily feeding workflow around the ration.
A feed mixer is not selected on volume alone. Presnost evaluates the herd, batch plan, forage structure, loading method, site access, feed alleys, power source and service environment before recommending a system.
Vertical-auger configurations can process varied total mixed ration ingredients, but mixing time, loading sequence and minimum or maximum batch fill still need to be matched to the recipe and verified during commissioning.
Trailed mixers
A practical option where a suitable tractor and loading machine are already available. Mixer capacity, auger count, power requirement and discharge position are configured around batch size, ration ingredients, feed alleys and daily operating hours.
Self-propelled mixers
A single machine can collect and load forage, weigh ingredients, mix the ration and distribute it to the bunk. This can simplify hand-offs and improve feeding speed where herds, travel distances or labour demands are high.
Stationary mixers
A fixed mixing and dosing system can anchor a central feed centre, with loading or discharge conveyors and interfaces to external controls. It suits high-throughput dairy, feedlot and premix workflows where distribution is handled separately.
01Herd & batches
Head count, groups, feeding frequency and required batch range.
02Ingredients
Forage length, fibre, bales, concentrates, liquids and mineral inclusions.
03Loading & access
Storage layout, loading height, travel distance, turning space and ground conditions.
04Delivery
Feed-alley width, bunk height and preferred front, side or conveyor discharge.
05Power & support
Tractor or installed power, wear protection, maintenance access, training and parts planning.
TOPCON TAP FEED
Turn every load and delivery into usable feed data.
TAP Feed connects load-monitoring hardware with cloud software so the feeding team can plan rations, guide operators and compare planned quantities with what was actually loaded and delivered. Current dry-matter values can update recipe call weights and as-fed ingredient values without rebuilding every ration manually.
Recipe controlGuided loadingDelivery recordsOperator accuracyCloud reporting
Plan
Set ingredients, groups or pens, recipes, loading order, mix times, dry-matter values and prices.
Load
Send the feeding plan to a mobile device or in-cab display connected to the mixer weighing system.
Mix & deliver
Guide operators through call weights, ingredient sequence, mixing and delivery to the correct group or pen.
Capture
Record actual loading, ration delivery, timestamps, operator accuracy and, where configured, refusals or weighbacks.
Improve
Review ingredient use, dry-matter intake per head, delivery accuracy, stock position and production indicators.
TAP Feed Lite
Manage ingredients, groups or pens, recipes and standard reports for dairy or feedlot operations. Plans can move to the operator through a connected app or compatible transfer method, depending on the hardware configuration.
TAP Feed Pro
Add refusals and weighbacks, recipe transitions, base-ration additions, zone control and scheduled reports. Optional milk-production inputs support dry-matter efficiency analysis alongside ingredient use by pen.
TAP Feed Feedlot
Extend the workflow to arrivals and lots, cattle movements between pens, bunk scoring, feed data by lot, non-feed charges and lot closeout reporting.
CONNECTED OPERATION
From a single mobile workflow to coordinated multi-operator feeding.
The application-led setup provides a direct route from the feeding plan to a Bluetooth-connected scale or indicator and automatically returns completed load data. Larger operations can use in-cab displays, loader hand-offs and live data transfer to coordinate several operators and machines.
MANAGEMENT VISIBILITY
Reports that explain where feed went.
Review load history, ration and group delivery, ingredient use, dry-matter intake per head, timestamps and operator accuracy. Optional inventory tools can track commodity use, expected stock-out dates, orders and deliveries; herd-data connections can bring head counts and production information into supported reports.
Hardware, connectivity, subscription level and third-party data integration are specified for each operation. Presnost supports system scoping, mixer and scale integration, commissioning, operator training and ongoing calibration planning.
