Evaluation tool for system-specific risk factors on dairy farms with special emphasis on productivity and animal health (Dairy Cattle Value Navigator)
Dairy farmers have to take important decisions about a whole range of issues with multifactorial causes and effects on a daily basis. These decisions are highly complex because individual facets of the housing system, herd management, feeding and animal health as well as economic aspects and all relevant risk factors affect each other. The aim of the project is to provide dairy farmers with a tool which, following system analysis and monitoring, enables them to identify problem areas, take informed decisions at the level of individual cows and the farm as a whole, recognize changes to risk factors in good time, and compare livestock and farms. In addition, risks which impair animals’ productivity and health are to be continuously minimized. Therefore, the mechanisms and risk factors will be identified, weighted and economically assessed by means of repeated system analyses and directional influencing. Using a software module, the results will be developed into a practicable, modular decision-making tool to be known as the ‘Dairy Cattle Value Navigator’.
Results and the Final report will be found here, as soon as the project is completed.
