Using the VanderPas feeding system, goats are automatically supplied with individual concentrate. Providing concentrated feed is very labour intensive and time consuming. Providing concentrates more than twice a day is highly recommended. When this is done manually, it takes a lot of time and energy.

The VanderPas feeding system delivers targeted feed. That means: feed as needed. This can lead to:

• higher production
• lower feed consumption
• healthier goats

These effects obviously depend on the current situation at your farm.

By deploying the VanderPas feeding system, the structural space can be used more efficiently. After all, since the feeding system operates 24 hours a day, the goats do not have to eat all together at the same time. Roughage can also be supplied in stock from now on. This means that one eating place per three goats is sufficient, and much less feeding alley is required. These square meters may be used as extra space for lying/walking.

If new construction or expansion of your current stable is not an option due to a zoning plan or lack of space in the existing premises, then this is an option to accommodate even more goats.

Due to the dimensions of the VanderPas feeding system (3m wide, 14m long) it can be perfectly integrated into an existing stable and does not hinder mucking out!
