“We intend to increase our herd over the next few years. Allflex Heatime Pro will help us towards that target because it reduces the cost with reproductive protocols, increases our reproductive index, and allows us to spend time on other activities.”
Sérgio Teixeira, Farm Manager
Challenges
The growing herd was making it difficult to keep pace. The biggest problem was not having time to check the cows and their heat.
System
Allflex Heatime® Pro System with HRLDn neck tags for realtime heat detection, rumination and health monitoring and Allflex HealthyCow24® application.
Benefits
The biggest benefits, he says “have been that we are now able to identify animals in heat and sick cows before we notice anything.”
At a Glance
- Company:Capetinga
- Location:Arcos, Minas Gerais, Brazil
- Herd Size:300 dairy cows
Summary
Within one week of installation Teixeira and his workers were already using Allflex Heatime Pro regularly, and have been working with it constantly ever since. “I now check the system three times a day, every day, on the computer for animals in heat and distress,” says Teixeira. “The reports we use the most are the Heat and the Health reports.”
