In addition to monitoring the subtle behavioural and activity patterns associated with the various stages of the fertility cycle and health parameters of dairy cows, heifers and calves, the electronic neck collars and eartags used by SenseHub Dairy can also act as ID tags for compatible milking parlours and automatic shedding gates.
By providing class-leading levels of heat detection accuracy and clear guidance on when individual cows and heifers should be inseminated, the SenseHub® Dairy herd monitoring system from MSD Animal Health enables herd managers to optimise their herd’s fertility performance.
Apart from the sale of youngstock and any additional farm diversification projects, most income on any dairy unit is earned through milk yield and milk quality.
