Monitoring to control the impact of corrective measures in cattle breeding

The farmer observed that his cows were laping in the water troughs and that milk production was not commensurate with the distributed feed.

A geobiological diagnosis was carried out on the farm, revealing the presence of parasitic currents in the dairy cows' drinking troughs. Following the visit, the throughs were connected to the ground on January 26th, leading to an immediate response from the animals with a peak of ingestion and rumination.

The farmer was able to control that the ingestion of his dairy cows increased after correction to stabilize at 270 min. Today cows ingest 30 minutes more with a stable rumination.  The benefits were also seen in the tank by an increase in milk production of 2 litters per cow and with better quality (+2 point of fat and 0.5 point of protein). By the same time cows gained around 0.5 point of body condition! With his 70 cows it means around 1500 € more at the end of the month!
