Cow nutrition is vital for running a healthy dairy business. Solid feed management can create a powerful base for your herd health. The group comparison function enables you to compare different groups and track the same group across different time frames, allowing you to for example monitor seasonality or management changes. With the Nutrition Monitor, you’re able to dive into daily and even hourly graphs to help you run a stable dairy operation.

Nutrition as Base for Cow Well-Being
Optimize Feed Management with the Group Monitor
Over 50% of your daily variable costs are feed related, so it’s essential to make it count. With the low feed intake group alerts you’re able to detect severe drops in the group’s eating pattern. This makes it easy to monitor deviations before they become severe drops, so you can adjust your feed strategy in time and keep those milk production numbers up.
Get to the bottom of your group’s eating and rumination behavior by checking the group overview graph. This graph gives an overview of feeding practices per group overtime. It’s also possible to compare groups to one another and monitor the effect of ration changes.
Group Alerts
The Nutrition Monitor has different types of group alerts: heat stress, low feed intake, group stress and group health. All of these alerts give you the tools you need to stay on top of feed management and group performance.
Monitor ration changes and improve your management with detailed insights into group behavior to serve your herd’s needs.
Identify Heat Stress
Heat stress leads to an increased incidence of diseases, impairs reproduction, and reduces milk production. Sometimes it’s unpreventable, but the heat stress group alert makes you aware of heat stress and its severity. Ear temperature, activity and changes in eating and rumination are the perfect parameters for heat stress detection.
CowManager provides an overview of both current and past heat stress cases, enabling you to compare data across years and improve your heat abatement strategy to prevent future heat stress.
The Nutrition Monitor is part of the Transition & Nutrition Module.
Benefits of the Transition & Nutrition Module

The Right Nutrition for Your Cattle
For dairy farmers, monitoring what goes into a cow’s diet and understanding the significance of feed management can make all the difference in optimizing herd health and milk production. Keeping a close eye on what your cows eat ensures they receive the right balance of nutrients, which directly impacts their overall well-being and, ultimately, your bottom line.
Cattle nutrition software allows dairy farmers to precisely manage their herd’s dietary needs. It helps tailor nutrition plans to individual cows, ensuring they receive the right mix of proteins, vitamins, and minerals. This targeted approach can boost milk yields, enhance reproductive performance, and improve overall herd health. In the modern dairy industry, where efficiency is key, cattle nutrition software is an invaluable tool for those striving to achieve the best results for their dairy operations.
