Act faster on clinical problems!

The breeder received an alert from Feed'Live for a fall in ingestion on March 10th.

There were drops in :

  • Time of ingestion (- 45%)
  • Rumination time (- 40 %)
  • Milk at evening milking (- 50 %)

The next day the farmer called in the Vet who diagnosed the ingestion of a foreign body and treated the animal. The breeder was able to monitor the improvement in his cow's health thanks to a resumption of the ingestion and rumination times.

A week later, the animal was producing its usual 40 kg of milk per day!

The use of Medria sensors therefore enabled the farmer to make an early diagnosis and thus limit the impact on his cow's health!
