For Farmers

Artificial Intelligence analyses data collected from in-shed cameras and uses gait analysis to detect the early signs of lameness in dairy herds.

<   As a farmer, we understand that your primary goal is ensuring the health and productivity of your herd. Herd-i provides consistent and cost effective early detection of lameness, which enables fast and effective treatment to maintain milk production, reproductive performance and animal welfare.

The benefits that Herd-i provides are:

>01

Early Detection enables Early Treatment

  • Daily Lameness Scores: By analysing tens of thousands of data points, Herd-i provides daily updates on each individual cow’s lameness score, identifying early signs of lameness.
  • Effective Health Management: Early detection of lameness enables cost effective treatment and prevention of re-occurrence.

>02

Enhanced Reproductive Performance
  • Improved In-Calf Rates: Lameness contributes to reduced reproductive performance. Early detection and treatment of lameness increases in-calf rates and reduces incidents of cows being not-in-calf.  

>03

Improve Labour Efficiency and Productivity

  • Efficient Use of Labour: Herd-i’s in-shed camera technology provides persistent and consistent monitoring of individual dairy cow lameness, identifying lame cows early; which is one less job the farm team has to do.
  • Higher Milk Yields: Cows that are lame produce less milk. Early detection and treatment of lameness ensures that milk production is maintained.

>04

Reduced Cost of Lameness

  • Reduce Treatment Costs: Early detection and treatment of lameness ensures that treatment costs are minimised. 
  • Return on Investment: Herd-i is a cost-effective way to reduce the impacts of lost milk production, poor reproductive performance and reduction in culled cows.
