| It's a shocking statistic but only 50% of all heats are detected in the average herd. Increasing this by 10% would save over £7,000 per year for a typical 150 cow herd. Some cows display signs of heat for only a few hours, so even with regular observation these cows may be missed. One option for improving heat detection is the use of pedometers (activity meters). The Pedometers Farming Note will help you decide if pedometers will be worthwhile for you and include a comparison of what’s available, including prices. |
