24 Hour Walking Man on Whitehall Farm

On the farm they use three of the CowManager modules. The Health Module for monitoring herd health and to catch diseases early. The Fertility Module to monitor heat detection, and never miss a heat. And the Nutrition Module, which keeps an eye on heat stress, group alerts, as well as transition.

They purchased the system after advice from World Wide Sires UK. David Edwards has not regretted following up on that advice.

“It is a 24 hour walking man around the cows. It doesn’t miss a thing. We’ve picked poorly cows up quicker, and just very often with some pain relief we get them before they got ill and needed antibiotics.”

 

Why CowManager?

24/7 Real-time Data, Never Miss a Heat

Heat peaks, possible pregnancies, non-cycling cows, potential abortions. Never miss a thing.

Monitor Transition, Reduce Risk

The Transition Monitor identifies cows at risk up to 50 days before calving, ensuring proactive intervention and reducing transition diseases.

Catch Diseases Early, Reduce Sick Cows

Get alerted immediately when a cow isn't ruminating or eating, and intervene proactively. Pick up on diseases like mastitis and ketosis in an early stage.
