TOP 20 TIPS
  • Top 20 Tips

    • Switch from incandescent lighting to T-8 fluorescent lighting in your barns
    • Use dimmers and motion sensors on your barn lights
    • Match tractor size to the size of implements
    • Ensure equipment tyres are properly inflated
    • Ensure that equipment and machinery are suitably maintained following the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule
    • Make sure that the windows and doors in your farm buildings are tight fitting and well sealed
    • Insulate farm building outside walls with greater than R20 and ceilings with greater than R30
    • Consider the use of solar energy around the farmstead or on-farm (for powering water pumps and electric fences)
    • Switch to a milk pre-cooler system to cool the milk before it enters the bulk milk tank
    • Check that the timer settings for the solenoid valve on the water system of plate pre-coolers allow enough time for the milk to be cooled, but not so long as to cause water waste
    • Avoid excessive use of borehole water during parlour wash down to minimize disposal costs for dirty water
    • Use variable speed drives (VSD) on vacuum and milk pumps on your milking equipment
    • Look into adjusting lights in the dairy barn to increase milk production
    • Install a heat reclaimer
    • Investigate availability of water recycling equipment
    • Insulate hot water lines and refrigeration lines going to the milk vat
    • Use a timer on your water heater so the water is the right temperature only when you need it
    • Maximize natural ventilation in the barn
    • Clean ventilation fans
    • Look into doing an on-farm energy audit
