SFIS Funding Opportunities for Dairy Farmers
The Sustainable Farming Investment Scheme (SFIS) provides dairy farmers in Northern Ireland with opportunities to invest in technology that improves efficiency, productivity, animal welfare and environmental performance.
With funding available until the allocated budget is exhausted, now is an excellent time to explore investment opportunities.
What is SFIS?
The Sustainable Farming Investment Scheme is designed to support investment in approved equipment and technology that helps dairy farms become more efficient, productive and sustainable.
The programme supports investments relating to:
- Precision Livestock Management
- Automated Feeding Systems
- Resource Efficiency
- Animal Welfare
- Environmental Performance
Why Invest?
Funding Available
Unlike many funding schemes that operate within a fixed application window, SFIS funding remains available until the allocated budget has been fully committed.
This creates an opportunity for farmers to start planning future investments and discuss solutions that align with the scheme's objectives.
Investing in proven technologies can help farmers:
- Improve feed conversion and feed efficiency
- Reduce labour requirements
- Optimise herd performance
- Improve nutrient management
- Increase overall farm efficiency
- Strengthen long-term profitability
Hanskamp & SFIS
Several Hanskamp solutions align strongly with SFIS priorities around precision feeding, automation, efficiency and environmental performance.
These technologies help dairy farmers improve daily management while delivering measurable on-farm results.
1/8 PipeFeeder
The PipeFeeder delivers highly accurate concentrate feeding and prevents feed loss, even when cows bump against the feeder. Its anti-spill design ensures every gram of feed reaches the cow, helping improve feed efficiency, reduce waste and support more sustainable dairy farming, key objectives within SFIS.
2/8 DeltaFeeder
The DeltaFeeder stands out for its durability, simplicity and precision and enhances dairy farming efficiency and milk production.
3/8 FeedStation Walk-Through
The FeedStation Walk-Through promotes smooth cow flow and comfortable feeding, helping cows move naturally through the station while ensuring optimal utilisation of the feeder.
4/8 FeedStation Walk-In
The FeedStation Walk-In is an open concentrate feeder that allows cows to stay connected with the herd while receiving individual feed portions. This supports natural cow behaviour and efficient feeding.
5/8 Feedstation Mobile
The FeedStation Mobile enables automatic and individual concentrate feeding during grazing, helping cows receive the right feed at the right time while improving feed efficiency and reducing feed costs.
6/8 Spider
The Spider is a feeding computer for automatic and individual concentrate feeding in the milking parlour and concentrate stations. By improving feeding precision and feed utilisation, it supports efficient dairy farm management and aligns with SFIS objectives around productivity and sustainable farming practices.
7/8 MultiDos
The MultiDos accurately dispenses liquid feed supplements in milking robots and concentrate feeding stations, helping improve feeding precision, animal performance and feed efficiency. Its focus on optimising feed utilisation aligns well with SFIS objectives around productivity and sustainable resource use.
8/8 CowToilet
The CowToilet collects urine separately at the source, helping reduce emissions and improve nutrient management. As an innovative solution for more sustainable dairy farming, it may offer opportunities within funding schemes focused on environmental impact, efficiency and animal welfare.
