7 ways activity monitors can pay off in a herd
With today’s milk prices in several regions, investing in activity monitoring technology might seem like an unnecessary expense. But, the reality is, activity monitoring can help dairy herds of all sizes maximize their labor and resources, a smart investment at any milk price.
“Maximizing resources is critical when margins are tight and activity monitors can do just that,” says Tara Bohnert, business development manager for Nedap North America. “Activity monitors can observe and identify heats, unusual behavior and signs of disease, allowing you to reallocate labor resources elsewhere. An added bonus is that they show more than the human eye can see and never call in sick for work.”
Today’s activity monitoring technology offers you more control than ever before. At their fingertips, farmers can quickly identify sick cows, cows in heat or see the exact location of specific cows in the barn. They can check cows and make decisions or take action, even when they’re away from the farm.
Here are seven ways activity monitoring can pay-off in a herd.
Using actionable data helps you better your best. Making the most of the activity monitoring technology available to you will bring the seven benefits to life.
Even in down economies, farms using Nedap CowControl report it only takes 1-3 years for the technology to pay for itself. And that doesn’t account for the peace of mind you get with the system.
