Herd Management : Key to Success

Cow milking process management : you have to manage complete milking

process to get maximum milk .

a) Milk Deviation : Actual Milk recording for each milking, you can know why the milk

is deviating and why there is a loss/or increase in milk production

b) Milk let down

c) Actual Milking time of individual cattle’s

d) Cluster Kick Offs and unnecessary attachments

Feed Management system : Planning of feeds by grouping cattle’ s

a) Lactation Wise ,Weight wise ,Milk Production wise

b) Feed Management

c) Size of feed

d) Concentration and roughage

e) Feeding Efficiency

Herd Management : Key to Success

Health Management System : To analyze and control all type of disease at

first stage

a) Health Problems like Mastitis Detection, Negative energy Balance, Ketosis,

You can reduce your culling of cows and this means better utilization, a lot of

culling takes place because of Cows having udder infection or even a

repeaters

b) Reduction in Intercalving Period : Reducing intercalving period that means

the gap between two calving is one of the most important aspects in

managing the farm If it is within the limits then everything is automatically

in control , Timely detection of heat means more milk and more calves apart

from good health, this itself means saving of more than 10,000-15,000

Cow Comfort Management :

Behavior Monitoring

Analysis of Cow bedding condition

Influence of temp in on resting cows
