THOUGHTS ▶▶▶ Making farm management better
EuroTier. It is exciting to see how clever all these innovations are, backed up by the latest knowledge on technol- ogy and big data. Often these innovations are sensor-based. Farmers have been using sensors for some time now, in heat detection for example. But sensors can tell us so much more. Think of data around eating, rumina- tion, non-chewing, lying, standing, number of steps and the number of times the cow stands up. Sensors can help because they actually show what your cows are doing. If you decide to improve your feed management (diet composition, feeding time, push ups, etc) the sensors will tell you if your cows think it is an improve- ment too. Together with the milk production and reproduction results of your cows this gives you an answer whether the change in feed management was a true improvement. And this is just one example of how sensors can improve dairy farm management. See you in Hanover!
