"Necessary data for proper feeding management and control" was one of the most interesting topics discussed during the Cattle Breeding Business Forum, organized by the Bulgarian livestock breeding partner - HL-TopMix. The topic was presented by the German expert Dr. Hans-Carsten Bockmann, who is a consultant to one of the most successful cow farms in Germany.
Precisely one of these farms, he examined in his lecture, presenting real data and practices that the farmer applies in managing his business.
Why is data analysis important in the farm and how does this process directly affect productivity?, was the main question that Dr. Bockman discussed with the present farmers.
Successful nutrition management requires:
- Routine in data collection;
- Routine in the interpretation and analysis of the collected data;
- Defining the “critical control indicators”;
- Finding a solution in agreement with the veterinarian, the herd manager and the nutrition consultant;
- Solving the problem!
