Since its introduction in November 2016, 850 FMS Farm Scans have been requested, 610 of which have been since last January. This underlines the great success of this tool. Using the Farm Scan before and during a farm visit enables the advisor to have a quick but solid insight into each individual farm. It clearly shows where short- and long-term actions can be taken, keeping farmers’ goals in mind.

New release

With this latest version, the spider-web diagram is reduced to five topics. These topics are based on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that are easy to compare between farms:
- Robot capacity: high milk yield per robot.
- Production - feeding: high milk yield per cow and low lactation days.
- Milk visit efficiency: high milk yield per minute box time.
- Robot performance: low number of failures and low number of connection attempts.
- Interval: low percentage of cows with an interval >14 hours.

However, more KPIs are shown within the overview of the farm performance per topic. Within this section, the performance of the last half year is shown for KPIs that are related to the topic. The current state of the farm is shown by a 30-day average of these KPIs, which can be compared with the 30-day average of the Lely Center.

These infections often remain subclinical throughout the dry period, but are then an important cause of clinical mastitis in the first few months of the subsequent lactation period. This article will give more insight and information about the different stages of the dry period and their relation to mastitis.
