Herman Kusters is a farmer with a heart for his cattle and a head for smart farming.
Before, Herman used fluorescent lights as main lighting, giving off a dim 20-23 Lux of light. It wasn't the best, but it was what many farms used.
Then, Herman decided to try RUDAX lighting. With the RUDAX installed at the same spots in the barn, the light levels increased to 180 Lux.
We were already quite high with a production
of 11.000 liters per cow. Now it's close to 12.000 liters. That's an increase of 1.000 liters, which in turn translates to a better financial result.
With the implementation of RUDAX lighting, Kusters' farm saw an impressive increase in milk production, from 11,000 liters to nearly 12,000 liters per cow. This remarkable boost translates into a tangible financial uplift for the farm, showcasing the direct correlation between optimal lighting conditions and livestock performance.
But the benefits of RUDAX extend beyond just numbers. Kusters highlights the positive impact on the cows' well-being, particularly in terms of resting behavior, which is crucial for hoof health and overall comfort.
Additional resting behaviour stimulates milk production. This leads to increased milk yields and cost-wise, allows for even better performance, Kusters explains.
In Kusters' own words, his satisfaction with RUDAX's impact on his farm is profound, showing the essence of this partnership: "When I see how satisfied I am with the RUDAX, I hope every farmer can experience this. I would definitely recommend RUDAX."
This sentiment is a true endorsement of the potential that lies in innovative lighting solutions for the agricultural sector, illuminating the way forward for farmers.
