Context
An increasing number of dairy farms are equipped with milking robots, which generate a wealth of data on individual animal performance. The abundance of the data can make it difficult to analyze. Nevertheless, this data is of great value to technicians in their quest to improve performance. It helps them answer the following questions: How can we measure whether the farm’s objectives are being met? What supplementation strategy we implement to meet the animals’ needs? How can we identify the factors hindering the achievement of desired performance levels?
- Mixscience offers Discower, a digital tool to automate the analysis of data from milking robots and generate a summary report. Thanks to Discower, technical sales representatives can quickly identify areas for improvement on the farm and measure changes in farm performance.
Deliverables
- Creation of a summary report facilitating technical monitoring and prospecting of automated dairy farms
- Clear and structured presentation of data from milking robots, regardless of the robot brand
- Assessment of the herd’s historical and current performance
- Assessment of the effectiveness of individual feed supplementation, based on milk production and defined objectives
Key features
Based on a farm’s characteristics and defined objectives,Discower automatically generates a dashboard: all data is used without any risk of error or wasted time.
Discower allows users to easily monitor herd performance, thanks to clear reports and relevant performance indicators. For example, a lactation curve makes it possible to quickly identify groups of animals that are or are not meeting defined goals.
Discower provides various reports that the technician can use to explore specific topics in greater depth: animal health, robot usage, milk quality, and historical performance.
Discower also allows the technician to identify the least productive dairy cows in the herd: those that are not meeting targets or those that may have metabolic issues. Mixscience experts offer their partners technical support to help them get the most out of the digital tool. When used correctly, Discower is a true decision-making tool designed to optimize dairy farms.
