Development of an integrated farm management system for data acquisition and structured data analysis of calves for rearing and heifers. The aim is to close the data chain from the birth of the calf to the dairy cow in order to optimize health management in the period that is most decisive for the subsequent performance of a dairy cow. The observance of natural behavior and the decision for management processes such as the first insemination due to animal-specific biorhythmics play a decisive role. Through the continuous recording and evaluation of data, a group-specific health standard is recorded, the increased accuracy of the statements makes the health status objectifiable and therefore simplifies the basic decision-making processes for young cattle rearing.
