Nick Tyler, herd manager of 580 cows at Kingsplay Farming in the United Kingdom, shares his CowManager experience.

“With CowManager we’re using very, very little hormone intervention. We’re relying on the data coming from the tag and we’ve seen about a ten percent rise in preg rate, which is great.”

Cow Health Monitoring

Kingsplay Farming uses CowManager’s Fertility Module as well as the Health Module. This helps them improve reproduction results, while making sure the herd stays as healthy as can be.

Nick: “Before we installed it, we really just waited for the cows to show sick, or use stockmanship skills. Whether the cow was visibly sick or poorly or showing signs of distress, we’d examine it and check it over then.”
