Precision Dairy Farming
Precision dairy farming uses modern technologies such as sensors and data algorithms to monitor and optimize the production, health, and welfare of dairy cows.
Genomic Selection
Genomic selection involves using DNA testing to select dairy cows with the most desirable traits for breeding, which accelerates genetic progress and improves herd quality.
Automated Milking Systems (AMS)
AMS allow for cows to be milked on an individual schedule without human labor, enhancing milk production and quality. They provide real-time data for better herd management.
Diet Optimization with NIR Sensors
Near-Infrared (NIR) sensors can analyze feed quality in real-time, allowing for precision adjustments to the cows' diet, leading to improved milk yield and animal health.
Manure Management Technologies
Innovative manure management systems, such as anaerobic digesters, convert waste into useful byproducts like energy and bedding, reducing environmental impact and creating revenue streams.
Feed Management Software
Advanced software systems help optimize feed usage and formulations, lower costs, and track the nutritional intake of herds, leading to better production efficiency.
Teat Sanitizing Robots
Robotic teat sanitizing systems clean and disinfect cow teats before and after milking, reducing the risk of mastitis and improving overall udder health.
Milk Quality Sensors
In-line sensors in milking equipment can detect indicators of milk quality and udder health such as somatic cell count, fat, protein, and lactose levels.
