We believe that monitoring herd health performance and culling data is crucial in the management of cow welfare and profitable dairy production. The Health and Culling Monitor system was established by Kite in Autumn 2006 and is now into its fourth year, it offers a framework for a proactive management approach to cow welfare - an area that is increasingly attracting interest in the media and among consumers.
This report is based on data gathered by Health & Culling Monitor during the years 2007 and 2008. In total this data covers 58,210 cows in 322 herds. The results show improvements in health performance and a reduction in culling on the herds monitored.
