At Larson Acres, we have a computerized
system designed to carefully monitor and track the health
of each animal in our herd. Each cow has its own identification
number and a transponder around their necks.
The transponder data for each individual cow downloads
into our computerized monitoring system, which allows us
to keep track of production levels, milk weights, cows
that are expecting to be in heat and the waiting period
for pregnancy, so we know what to expect and how to react.
When they walk into the milking parlor we know who’s there, how far they’ve walked, their activity during the day and how much milk they produced because of this monitoring system. We are also able to match the nutrient level in their diets to their milk through our computerized system. |
