Managing a dairy farm is a special process, and if you organize it correctly, you can count on building a competitive and profitable business with real development prospects in the future. A modern farm needs modern management methods. There are a number of characteristics in the dairy industry that are of great importance, and understanding them will contribute to correct and accurate management. Let's take a look at them.

First, to run a successful business, it is important to consider the feeding requirements of cows or goats, if we are talking about a goat farm. Feed is a major expense of a business and it is important to build a supply chain to ensure that dairy pets receive quality nutrition. Forage is grown independently if land resources are available or purchased from suppliers. And in the second case, it is important to find such options of cooperation in which purchases do not ruin the farm budget. Attentive attitude and improvement of the feeding system, the choice of new feed — this is the starting mechanism that gives an impetus to the growth of milk yield. In this practice, dairy production in most European countries is firmly established. Milk management won't be effective, and profits won't be high if the cows are underfed and poor quality food is given.

Management becomes much easier if modern feed dispensers are installed on a dairy farm, drinkers are automated, and equipment of machine milking is purchased. Feed must be properly stored in the warehouse. During storage, they should be taken into account by expiration date, since spoiled silage or grain will negatively affect the quality of dairy products and the health of the livestock. Each type of feed must be kept separately, mixing is prohibited. In management, it is important to pay attention to the rational use of the resources available on the dairy farm.

The second important issue that needs to be addressed at the very beginning is hygiene and sanitation. If the management of sanitation is effective, all actions are carried out on time, the cows get sick less, and reproduce more readily. Keeping animals clean is more productive and produces more dairy products. Next, you should pay attention to the veterinary support of the herd. The veterinarian is one of the main specialists in the dairy farm. He must regularly examine animals, vaccinates, quarantine individual individuals if they suspect a disease. In dairy production, the prevention of mastitis in cows is important. To do this, the veterinarian must regularly treat the udder with special products.

The dairy herd must be productive. To achieve this goal, constant culling and selection are applied. Comparison of milk yield, quality indicators of dairy products, the health status of cows helps to manage to cull as accurately as possible. Only the best must be sent to breeding, they will produce excellent offspring, and the production rates of the dairy farm should grow steadily.

Management is not possible without full accounting. Each cow or goat needs to be fitted with a special sensor in the collar or tag in the ear. Its metrics are an excellent source of data of special programs that effectively manage a modern farm. To perform management, it is important to account for milk yield and finished dairy products, organize proper storage and quality control, it is important to find reliable sales markets. The keeping of the herd requires vigilant constant monitoring, since cows are of different breeds and ages, and different groups of livestock need different feeding and different care. Raising calves is a separate story, in which there are a great many of its own nuances.

When managing a dairy farm, do not forget that this form of agricultural business is very harmful to the environment. Care should be taken to properly dispose of waste. With good management, even manure should become an additional source of income. When managing a modern dairy farm, it is important to use in work not only modern methods and equipment but also modern computer programs that facilitate the management and control of all areas of activity. Such development of this branch of animal husbandry was presented by the specialists of the USU Software.

Program implementation helps to automate the accounting of various processes, shows how efficiently resources and feed are used. With the help of application from USU Software, you can register the livestock, see the efficiency and productivity of each animal in the dairy herd. The program facilitates the issues of veterinary support, helps in warehouse and supply management, and provides reliable financial accounting and management of the actions of farm personnel. With a clear conscience, the USU Software can be assigned unpleasant paper routine duties — the app generates documents and reports automatically. In addition, the program provides the manager with a large amount of information necessary for full-fledged management — statistics, analytical and comparative information on various issues. The USU Software has high potential, short implementation time. An application is easily adaptable to the needs of a particular farm. If the manager intends to expand in the future, then this program suits him optimally since it is expandable, that is, it easily accepts new conditions when creating new directions and branches, without creating restrictions.

Download demo version

When starting the program, you can select the language.

Who is the translator?

There are no language barriers. The international version of the application allows you to customize the system operation in any language. A demo version is available on the developer's website. You can download it without paying for it. When installing the full version, the dairy farm does not have to pay a subscription fee on a regular basis. It is not provided. With many functions and capabilities, the app has a simple interface, nice design, and quick initial start. System management won't cause difficulties even for those users who have poor technical training. Everyone might be able to customize the design to their liking of more comfortable work.

The system unites different dairy farming divisions and its branches into one corporate network. Within the framework of a single information space, the transmission of important information for the business will be fast, in real-time. This affects the consistency and speed of staff interaction. The head is able to easily manage individual areas of the business or the entire company as a whole.

The program keeps records of the livestock as a whole, as well as for different groups of information — for livestock breeds and age, for the number of calving and lactation level, for the level of milk yield. For each cow in the system, you can create and maintain cards with a full description of the characteristics of the individual and her pedigree, her health, milk yield, feed consumption, veterinary history. If you introduce into the system individual rations for different groups of livestock, you can significantly increase the productivity of the dairy herd. The staff will know exactly when, how much and what to give to a particular cow to prevent hunger, overeating, or inappropriate feeding. The system from the USU Software team stores and systematize all indicators from cows' personal sensors. This helps to see livestock units for culling, to compare milk yield, to see ways to increase milk productivity. Herd management will become simple and straightforward. An app automatically registers dairy products, helps to divide them by quality, varieties, shelf life, and sales. The actual production volumes can be compared with the planned ones — this shows how far you have come in terms of effective management.

Veterinary activities will be under control. For each individual, you can see all the history of events, prevention, diseases. The plan of medical actions entered into the software tells the specialists when and which cows need vaccination, who needs examination and treatment in the herd. Medical support can be provided on time. The system registers the calves. Newborns on their birthday receive from the software a serial number, personal card, pedigree.
