Project code: REFORDAT-425
Contract period: 01.04.2018 - 30.09.2021
Purpose of research: Applied research

Versatile data are existent in animal productive livestock, e.g. for dairy cows in digital and non-digital forms. These data are used restrictively for further purposes like management decisions to enhance the animal health or to improve animal husbandry. At this juncture particular data are determined in very good quality for further conscious decision processes (e.g. milk yield recording). A higher assignment of these data with e.g. feeding, water and antibiotic uses or claw health, were not conducted. Furthermore only few of these data are available in a digital form.A main goal of this application is to improve data collections and evaluation to strengthen the herd health to produce milk with higher quality. The project “Digital cow 3.0” could deliver additional information to farmers in North Rhine-Westphalia about the herd health of their dairy farms with the option to use these combined information for weak-point analysis. Furthermore these continuous and consistently recordings on single animal basis could be used to start earlier with preventive activities.
