A major advancement in feeding and data-driven livestock nutrition was unveiled at Agritechnica 2025, where Siloking presented the SelfLine 4.0 System 2000+ for the first time. Shown in Hall 27, the machine delivered a 45m³ mixing capacity and 510hp, making it the most powerful self-propelled feed mixer built to date and marking a significant step forward for large dairy operations and feedlots.
Alongside the new mixer, the manufacturer also showcased several precision feeding innovations, including DryScan®, a dry matter analysis system integrated into all SelfLine models. DryScan measured the dry matter content of individual feed components during loading, enabling automatic adjustment of fresh matter quantities in real time.
For farmers, this offered a significant step towards consistent daily TMR quality, helping to prevent ration variability caused by weather-related changes or storage conditions. By maintaining stable dry matter levels, the risk of refusals, fluctuating rumen pH, and “zero events” on the feed table was reduced.
DryScan worked seamlessly with the company’s digital Feeding Management platform, enabling precise planning, automatic documentation, and continuous optimisation of feeding processes.
Feeding Management Platform Delivered a More Intelligent Workflow
The updated Feeding Management system introduced at the show further strengthened the company’s digital ecosystem. Developed with direct input from users, the platform provided a more intuitive environment for managing rations, analysing performance, and identifying variances in feeding routines.
The software integrated with all supported systems—including DryScan and other add-on modules—providing farms with a single, unified platform for data-driven feeding. Tasks could be managed from the barn, office, or remotely, with dashboards making it easier to spot trends, inefficiencies, or opportunities for improvement.
By linking machinery, sensors, and software into one connected system, the manufacturer aimed to help large dairy units reduce labour input, increase transparency, and achieve long-term consistency in livestock nutrition.
