Last reviewed: December 2025
DeLaval CF1000+ is an automatic calf feeding system that mixes and dispenses milk replacer or whole milk to individual calves.
Overview
The DeLaval CF1000+ automatic calf feeder represents advanced technology in calf nutrition. The system mixes and dispenses milk at consistent temperature and concentration to each calf based on their individual feeding plan.
Calves wear transponders that identify them at the feeding station. The system tracks consumption and alerts managers to calves with reduced intake - often the first sign of illness.
Multiple feeding stations can serve a group pen, providing social housing benefits while maintaining individual feeding control.
