The Dairy Podcast Show - #23 - On-farm technologies: where are we?

Technologies have come to stay on our farms! They may help us make better decisions and work with more precision, but in order to get the most out of them, we have to be up to date with the latest news and innovations. So what technologies are being successfully implemented on farms right now? To answer that question, I talk with our guest Dr. Jeffrey Bewley in this episode. As a scientist that is highly experienced with data and innovation, he discusses the most important technologies that have been developed in recent years, which ones every farm should have , and how we can better choose our tools to avoid falling into traps.

What you'll learn:

1. Wearable technologies for cow monitoring

2. What is the SmartHolstein Lab?

3. Using technologies for genetic evaluation

4. Traditional selection methods against computer-based methods

5. Data management technologies farmers should have

6. Choosing the right technologies for your farm
