Animal monitoring systems are a time-tested and proven solution for accurate heat detection. They can also unlock other reproductive efficiencies to bring more dollars to your bottom line
Whether you are considering (or reconsidering) installing sort gates or looking to improve efficiency with your current setup, here are two things to ponder
Proper management during a calf’s early days lays the foundation for lifetime success and helps unlock its full potential. Using herd management software to record calf and heifer data can pro
Dairies are facing more challenges than ever before. Low milk prices, high interest rates, a skilled labor shortage, and more have put a premium on operating with peak efficiency
When Chad Abbas, herdsman at Van Voorst Dairy, set out to improve reproductive efficiency a few years ago, he found the answer by combining targeted estrus synchronization with SenseHub® Dairy cow...
From hand-written 4x6 paper note cards and breeding wheels to cowside data entry and real-time performance alerts, dairy farm technology has come a long way
Calf morbidity and mortality continue to be a challenge for dairy producers. A 2014 National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) survey found that calf mortality averaged around 8% while morbidity...
Why do you feed supplemental fat to your herd? Perhaps you’re aiming to propel your milkfat higher to capture more revenue in your milk check, or you recognize the impact bypass fat can have on feed...
Sort gate technology adds value by helping cows exhibit natural behaviors with easy cow flow and gives animals more time at the feedbunk or lying in stalls by not retracing steps postmilking
Whether your goal is to reduce odor and greenhouse gas emissions, minimize manure pathogens, add a new revenue source, participate in developing carbon markets, or take advantage of all these benefits...
Energy metabolism is a crucial aspect of dairy cow physiology, playing a central role in supporting various physiological functions, milk production, and overall health
As the summer months approach, you may begin to notice the impact of rising temperatures on your animals. Heat stress can result in various health issues, such as decreased breeding efficiency, lower
