The Importance of Data Access for Employees and Advisors

3 May 2023 News 3 min

As a dairy farmer, you regularly have to rely on staff and advisors to run your business effectively. As a nutritionist, AI specialist or a veterinarian you may have multiple dairies to visit in one day. Dairies may be small or large, but definitely always have lots of data to interpret. What if advisors can fully prepare farm visits and make decisions based on data instead of gut feelings?

Gaining access to real-time cow data for each specific dairy gives employers and advisors the time to efficiently plan their visits. This keeps the herd on top of their game and gives dairy farmers peace of mind as well. Because a prepared team means a more successful business. Increasing efficiency in the way of working is key.

Data Sharing with MultiView

Keeping herds healthy, complying with guidelines and being profitable at the same time is a tough job, for dairy producers and for their advisors. Full insights into cow data improves herds performance and profitability. That’s where cow monitoring technology comes in. CowManager measures ear temperature combined with behavior. The system gives actionable insights about the health, fertility, and nutrition of a herd. Sharing this data with veterinarians, herd managers, AI specialists, nutritionists and researchers is vital for making accurate decisions. CowManager offers data sharing via a free tool; MultiView. Let advisors optimally support dairy farms by adding them in MultiView.

“It’s a very simple system. You can see at glance what is going on and you will receive confirmation if you are on the right track after a treatment. In addition, advisors can also view the system if you give them access via MultiView.” –  Maargies Hoeve, The Netherlands

Historical Cow Data Back to Installation Date

Advisors can remotely dive into a cow’s data and history, dating all the way back to the system installation date. Veterinarians and nutritionists can analyze the graphs and alerts and look at a cow or group before actually visiting farms. With MultiView a farmer, together with their advisors, can easily keep an eye on that specific cow whose temperature diverts from the rest of the group. You can see when a cow comes in heat. You all know exactly which cows to focus on – and why. As an advisor you can easily see what the difference is between the issue right now, today or this week and analyze a daily/weekly or even yearly pattern.

With MultiView dairy farmers can facilitate conversations with their advisors. Everybody has access to the same cow data. Together they can make management decisions based on their own experience and gut feelings combined with science and cow data.

Monitor your herd’s performance together, completely changing the way business is done for the better.

“An example of when the Health Module of CowManager has helped our farm was when we got a health alert, but I wasn’t on the farm. Our veterinarian was able to check the alert through MultiView and treated the cow in time. Now she is healthy!” – ChoGye Farm, South Korea

MultiView is Always Included – and For Free

Whether you use CowManager for heat detection, health monitoring or to keep an eye on feed management or cows in transition; MultiView is always included in CowManager’s service.

“We can share the data easily with our veterinarian via MultiView. This gave us the opportunity to bring back the vet routine from weekly to bi-weekly, but still have 90% in calf.” Whiteoaks Farming, United Kingdom
