Health Monitoring

With farm scale increases on the rise, being able to monitor each animal is becoming increasingly more difficult. When herd managers and farm employees are stretched too thin, individual cow attention becomes more challenging. If you are not able to monitor your cows 24/7, you may be missing key critical cow health problems on your farm.

Nedap collars provide real-time insights on cow and herd health, enabling you to respond to a cow’s needs instantly. Dr. Izhar Ali of JK Dairies in Pakistan: “As a veterinarian, I can only treat sick animals if a cow shows clinical signs of disease. This system however detects a change in eating, rumination or inactive behavior of the cow two to three days before the first clinical signs and then puts the cow on the attention list.”

Labour Savings

Increased labor costs and availability are causing dairy farms to do more with fewer employees. This means there are less employees to identify areas of concern.

Additionally, finding the right employees for the work on your dairy farm is not easy nowadays. The ideal combination of qualified, motivated and at the same time affordable staff sometimes seems to be inoperable.

Hany Abdelmalek at Taanayel Farms in Lebanon: “Before we start our working day, part of the work has already been done by CowControl. Thanks to the attention lists, we know exactly which cows are in heat or in a preliminary stage of illness. We then immediately check those animals or inseminate them, leaving us time to carry out other tasks down to the last detail, and this is reflected in the results. The pregnancy rate has increased, while we spend much less time on insemination and use less hormones.”
