Herd Lifetime Productivity

For years the industry has been working to improve herd longevity while maximizing productivity.

Introducing Herd Lifetime Productivity (HL+).

Now, we can measure your herd’s longevity and benchmark it against farms from across the world, allowing us to provide you a more in-depth understanding of the strengths and opportunities within your herd. Whether that means improving calf and heifer management, considering cow comfort changes in the lactating pens or tweaking transition cow rations, we’re ready to help you achieve more for your future. Together, we can work towards increasing your milk production with fewer, more profitable cows through a shared passion for progress. By increasing your operation’s productivity, efficiency and sustainability, there’ll be even more reasons to start your mornings with confidence.

Its not just about the Cows

While Herd Lifetime Productivity analyzes milk production and profitabiltability across multiple lactations, we know success starts with the calves

See calf success clearly by allowing HL+ to run potential scenarios on:

  • Age at 1st calving
