Livestock Management
Nedap Livestock Management contributes to sustainable food production through technology focused on the care of individual cows, thereby improving the welfare and performance of the entire herd. Their sensor-based solutions optimize the health and productivity of cows, reduce workload, and minimize the environmental impact of food production. In this way, it improves life on the farm for both people and animals.
Integration with Nedap CowControl
Nedap CowControl monitors every cow 24 hours a day. The SmartTag the cow is wearing continuously monitors her fertility, health and location. Based on this, the dairy farmer receives relevant attentions and insights to make informed decisions. Nedap’s reliable identification solution is fully integrated into the SmartTag. The SmartTag recognizes your cows in, for example, the milking parlor or robot, your sorting and routing solutions and feeding stations.
Increase profitability with precision
Put the power of precision farming on your side. Improve your bottom line with the solutions to maximize dairy herd performance and save time, labor and costs.
Heat Detection
Nedap CowControl automatically tracks signs of heat – such as increased activity, sniffing, chin resting and mounting behavior. The system shows a clear list of all cows in heat with their optimal insemination moment for effective insemination with the highest chance of conception. It also provides additional reproduction insights, helping you to find cows with irregular heats, non-cycling cows and non-pregnant cows.
Health Monitoring
Nedap Health Monitoring is an essential tool to keep your cows healthy, fertile and productive. The system compares all behavior with standards for optimum condition, the previous behavior of the cow and the behavior of the group she is in and detects changes or abnormalities. It provides the earliest and most reliable health alerts for cows that need urgent attention and shows a list of cows that need to be checked today, allowing you to treat health issues before they become problems. It also enables you to intensively monitor transition cows and post-treatment recovery.
Cow Locating
Finding cows needing to be checked, inseminated, treated or fetched was never as easy and time-saving as it is with Nedap Cow Locating. It accurately shows and follows the real-time position of individual or multiple cows on your barn map with one click on your PC, tablet or smartphone. Nedap Cow Locating is fully integrated with Heat Detection, Health Monitoring and Herd Performance Trends.
Herd Performance Trends
Nedap CowControl shows you how external factors and management decisions influence the herd’s performance. The system sends a group alert when it detects abnormalities among a percentage of the cows in a group, allowing you to respond to. At strategic level, group behavior reports and herd performance insights offer a valuable tool to measure the eating patterns, behavior average, consistency, cycling rate and performance. Also evaluates the impact of (changed) feeding strategies, housing conditions and milking procedures.
Improve reproduction results and increase labour efficiency
BouMatic’s Real Time Activity System powered by Nedap provides individual data on each animal bringing you the ability to make smart herd management decisions. It automatically tracks signs of heat – such as increased activity, sniffing, chin resting and mounting behaviour – of all your cows 24 hours a day resulting in improved submission rates. The system shows a clear list of each cows heat start time followed by their optimal insemination window allowing for accurate timing of insemination for the highest chance of conception. It also provides additional reproduction insights, helping you to find cows with irregular heats, non-cycling cows and non-pregnant cows.
Providing a fertility insight of your herd in RealTime!
The RealTime neck tag provides extremely accurate heat detection with health monitoring and RealTime data is accessible at anytime from anywhere through the HerdMetrix™ phone app. The data you receive can let you know days in advance or before physical signs develop that a cow is in need of attention. By monitoring key indicators such as eating, rumination averages and inactivity times, it allows you to recognise deviations in behaviour. Early identification and treatment of sick animals may reduce the overall cost of treatments, increase recovery times, improve animal welfare & reduce culling.
