The PitstopBASIS feeder is designed to provide access to extra minerals on an ad libitum basis, including loose minerals, buffer/sodium bicarbonate, fodder salt and more. Dairy cows' nutritive needs, including their needs for minerals, are different due to different milk yields, ages or growth rates, even if they are housed in the same group.

These different needs are not met by using a standardized feed ration. Cows in the critical transition period are particularly vulnerable to being under-supplied with minerals, and the negative consequences this can have, especially regarding health and reproduction. Furthermore, it is most often this group of cows that you want to give extra buffer or fodder salt.

By using a PitstopBASIS feeder, you secure that these individual needs are fulfilled in a labour-saving way. Also, it is labour-saving to use a PitstopBASIS feeder instead of distributing minerals as top dressing, as an often-used practice for dry cows, and it is far more hygienic than placing an open trough on the stable floor.
