Dairy Sheep and Goat farming is emerging as a solid source of revenue, worldwide. The typical herd of small ruminant dairy farms holds a large number of animals, in different physiological states, with relatively short lactations, short reproduction cycles and an abundant number of events. The animals are kept very often as dual purpose animals, producing both milk and mutton, and require a precise timing of breeding, drying, and nutrition matching the updated animal's status.

Hence, farmers are often unable to keep track of each individual in the herd in order to take the right decision in the appropriate timing. This lack of vital information can prevent farmers from taking timely action regarding deviating animals. This can hamper them in addressing specific health and management needs or making important management decisions. All these factors can be major obstacles in preventing a herd from being fully productive and optimally economic.

How AfiShepherd operates:

Each animal's performances are continuously recorded in different sites as the milking parlor, sorting gates, weighting station, and the Afi2GO. Mass events such as heat synchronizing, pregnancy diagnosis, lambing, vaccinations, etc. are rapidly entered to the computer and animal's status updated. All this data is integrated and analyzed by the most comprehensive dairy management software in the dairy farming business today. THis perfect combination of real-time monitoring together with herd management modules, provides the necessary information for better dairy herd decisions making. For culling, AfiShepherd can detect and point out animals which are not producing a minimum amount of milk or lambs. On the other hand, the shepherd has the option to find the best animals according to specific criteria and keep the right offspring.
