Dairy Records Analysis:
Transforming Herd Data into Actionable Strategy
The Power of Data-Driven Decisions
In a modern dairy operation, your farm data is one of your most valuable assets. At Valley Veterinarians, our Dairy Records Analysis service bridges the gap between raw information and profitable decision-making.
DC305, the leading dairy management software worldwide, was developed at Valley Veterinarians in the early 1980s by Drs. Connor Jameson and Steve Eicker. Before the creation of Valley Ag Software, the team at Valley Veterinarians provided technical support and consultation to dairymen as they learned to implement computerized records on their farms.
Our roots in DC305 allow us to move beyond the basics to provide deep, expert interpretation of your herd records to quickly identify trends, benchmark performance, and pinpoint the bottlenecks affecting your bottom line. Our analysis is integrated directly with our veterinary recommendations, ensuring that every health protocol and management change is supported by concrete data.
DAIRY RECORDS ANALYSIS:
What Our Analysis Uncovers
Our dedicated veterinarians systematically review your records to provide clear, actionable insights across critical performance areas. This service is a key component of our overall Dairy Consulting and Herd Health strategy.
Key areas of focus include:
- Reproductive Performance Benchmarking: We analyze key metrics (e.g., Pregnancy Rate, Conception Rate, Days Open) to evaluate the efficiency of your Reproductive Palpation program and measure the effectiveness of synchronization or Advanced Reproductive Services.
- Disease Incidence Tracking: We monitor the frequency and duration of costly health events (e.g., mastitis, lameness, metabolic diseases) to measure the success of preventative protocols and identify high-risk groups.
- Culling and Replacement Strategies: We analyze culling trends to ensure involuntary culls are minimized and that your replacement heifers (from Calf Ranch Consulting) are integrated efficiently into the milking herd.
- Protocol Compliance Audits: We use the records to assess adherence to treatment and vaccination protocols, helping managers identify where training or supervision can be improved.
