Lindsay Ferlito of PRO-DAIRY will start the meeting with updates to FARM 5.0 and offer strategies for helping dairy farmers provide continuing education to their employees in stockmanship, calf care, euthanasia, and down cows. Models available from CCE and PRO-DAIRY will be on hand for participants to demo, including the calf tubing model, injection model, disbudding model and calving model.
Dr. Julio Giordano will then showcase his new program, Cow$, which shows daily profit/loss by cow. In this presentation, we will discuss how data from precision livestock farming technologies can be used to learn about and improve the profitability of individual cows and herds. We will also discuss recent research on the effects of health and reproductive management on cow profitability. Learn how automated health monitoring programs and targeted reproductive management can help increase profitability of herds and subgroups of cows.
