Last routing direction individual cows

An individual cow may be hard to locate outside when grazing or when you have multiple areas within your barn (stable, separation area, strawpen). To optimize efficiency, you can quickly see where a cow is using T4C reports. This feature, Last Routing Direction, is compatible with the Lely Astronaut and/or the Lely Grazeway.

Why treatment plans?

Ensuring that animal health issues are dealt with effectively and that the labour involved in the treatment is efficient is very important, particularly as herd sizes become larger. Farms with an automatic milking system have an extra tool they can use to increase the effectiveness of the treatment, thereby decrease the effort of the farmer has to make to achieve the best results.
