Modern dairy technology isn't just about collecting data; it's about extracting value from it. By utilizing advanced software to monitor the milking routine, producers can identify costly bottlenecks and milk more cows in less time while significantly improving teat health.
Reproductive performance is one of the most powerful and easily eroded drivers of dairy profitability. Every missed heat, delayed insemination or unnoticed pregnancy loss quietly adds days open. Increasingly, dairies are turning to technology to measurably improve reproductive outcomes.
As dairy producers increasingly adopt precision livestock farming technologies, the debate between wearable neck sensors (collars/eartags) and internal devices (rumen boluses) has intensified.
In modern agriculture, where profit margins are eroding making efficiency a necessity, dairy producers’ mindsets must shift from management based on raw production to management based purely on economic metrics, most notably income over feed costs.
Afimilk recently released the first product to accurately identify individual cow dry matter intake and calculate the feed efficiency of each animal. Product manager, Veronica Shabtai, DVM, shares the research behind the ground-breaking development and producer Jacob de Jong from Parkview Dairy in California talks about how he's used the service to enhance the accuracy and profitability of his culling decisions.
