Use Herd Performance Trends to improve farm management at the operational, tactical and strategic levels. Stability and regularity are important contributions to the success of a dairy farm. Cows are creatures of habit and perform at their best if every day follows the same format. Any type of change in a cow’s daily routine causes stress. Stress has a negative effect on milk production, reproduction and health of dairy cows. The amount of regularity due to a farm’s management procedures can be determined by the behavior of a group of cows. Charting group and herd behavior and detecting changes or abnormalities gives you a tool to use to respond and make improvements.

Measure performance factors including:

  • The herd’s eating, rumination and inactive behavior during the day
  • The average amount of time cows spend on each of those activities
  • Their day totals regarding these acitivities
  • The variation of behavior among a group of cows
  • The variation between different groups
  • The percentage of cows eating simultaneously
