Overview

Afimilk's Feed Efficiency module empowers users to look beyond milk production with accurate income over feed insights to:

Determine optimal times to cull cows based on individual profitability.
Identify low producing, high-cost cows for culling - to lower farm expenses.
Breed the most profitable cows to create a more genetically efficient herd.
Remove from breeding, or breed to beef the least profitable animals - to create a more genetically efficient herd.

Milk production-based herd management fails to include feed costs in the process of critical decisions. Even the addition of energy corrected milk data tells only part of the story.

The Feed Efficiency module combines data from production and feed intake. Use this module to make informed decisions that will resonate far into the future of the herd.

Make informed breeding decisions based on income over feed and feed efficiency data from critical periods in lactation.
Determine the optimal timing for culling the least profitable animals by income over feed data.
Identify culling and non-breeding candidates based on feed efficiency and income over feed across both current and previous lactations.
Pinpoint the lowest-performing animals alongside other information such as reproductive status and days in milk (DIM).
