“Succeeding at insemination is so important in optimizing many aspects of beef farming, that a good tool for heat identification is a prerequisite for running a successful operation.”
Halvor Midtsundstad, Owner
Challenges
Maintain the herd size, while increasing the quality of animals, better concentrate the winter calving period, and gain freedom to leave the farm.
System
Upgrade from Allflex Heatime® to an Allflex SenseHub system with cSense Flex neck tags
Benefits
Successful detection of heat in animals that show few signs, increased insemination rate, more concentrated calving period, and the ability to remotely manage breeding from anywhere.
- Company:Solgløtt Økoangus
- Location:Våler, Norway
- Herd size:30 Aberdeen Angus cows
Summary
Upgrading from Allflex Heatime to SenseHub led to positive changes across the farm. With the system detecting heat in animals that show few signs, he has increased the number of cows being inseminated, and is meeting his goal to consolidate winter calvings into a two-month period. Plus, for Halvor, who doesn’t like spending much time in front of a PC or using complicated systems, SenseHub is “easy to use even for someone who’s not particularly interested in technology.”
