When paired with a SenseHub sorting gate, the data automatically segregates cows for artificial insemination (AI), or those which are showing suspected signs of ill health and are in need of additional attention or veterinary intervention.
Automation the drafting process reduced the requirement for skilled labour and eliminates the need to visually identify each cow as she passes through the parlour. It also removes the need for staff to leave the milking parlour to physically segregate animals - a process which can be time-consuming, dangerous and stressful for staff and animals.
Automatic drafting also eliminates the scope for human error, thereby ensuring every animal is presented for insemination or treatment at the optimum time.
The SenseHub smartphone app can also be used to remotely hand-pick or pre-select any additional animals which need to be segregated from the herd for inspection, treatment or routine management purposes.
SenseHub Dairy also sends text alerts to highlight potential health issues, often before any clinical symptoms have been seen.
This early intervention, coupled with the ability to segregate affected animals quickly and safely, enables herd managers and farm vets to instigate remedial measures before the underlying problem has a significant impact on the animals health, performance or future fertility.
Connecting to a SenseHub sorting gate enhances day-to-day operations by:
- Accurately segregating animals based on heat events or health alerts
- Presenting animals for artificial insemination or treatment at the optimum time
