Smooth recovery of fresh cows

Nedap CowControl is also essential for Taanayel Farms for health management. Both for monitoring individual animals and for an overview per group. Hany explains how it helps them: “The system gives an alert if something is wrong with a cow. Almost 90% of the sick cows are detected by CowControl. We also monitor the fresh and dry cows in two separate groups from the rest. For the fresh cows it is important that they quickly start eating again after calving.” Because the system registers the eating and rumination time, he has a good view of this group and the individual animals in it. He also keeps a close eye on dry cows. “If a cow’s eating, ruminating or inactive behavior deviates from the normal pattern, CowControl signals this immediately and we receive a timely attention to check this cow. This allows us to anticipate quickly.”

Better feed management

Every day Nedap CowControl presents the behavior of the cows in a graphical representation. At a glance you can see per hour whether the cows are eating, ruminating or being inactive. “For example, we can monitor in the system whether the feeding times and the portions are correct and whether the cows like the feed. In this way CowControl also contributes to our feed management.” The system ensures peace and regularity on the farm. Hany can manage his farm anytime, anywhere via his mobile. “Thanks to the system, we detect irregularities at an early stage and prevent major problems. You can plan the day from early in the morning to late at night, which makes the work more pleasant”, is his firm conviction.
