PPP Industries’ in-shed feed system saves time: cows are fed whilst being milked.
PPP Industries Ltd, established in 1962, is a leading supplier of agricultural equipment in New Zealand.
The company also exports products to over 20 countries.
PPP specialises in dairy shed feed systems for both herringbone and rotary sheds for milking cows, goats, and sheep.
In addition to robust feed systems, the company offers a variety of silo sizes, as well as milling and storage options.
As feed types that farmers use with their in-shed feeding have changed, PPP has developed a system that can easily handle difficult products such as palm kernel expeller (PKE).
Benefits of in-shed feed systems are many.
It saves time: cows are fed whilst being milked. Wastage compared to paddock meal feeding is zero.
It helps mitigate erratic weather patterns and their potential to disrupt pastures and subsequently milk solid production, with a flick of a switch or a pull of a lever.
Animals can receive a nutritious complement of minerals & additives and repairs & maintenance are minimal.
PPP has a large team of agents offering nationwide back up support for service and parts.
