A livestock farm in hands of an effective leader becomes a highly profitable business
No modern livestock enterprise can be effective without modern herd management programs. The most successful managers know this, because it is impossible to effectively monitor, analyze and manage all livestock production processes on the farm without automated accounting, without which the head of the enterprise is “blind” and does not control the process on the farm, but turns into a team leader involved in the process.
“Today, those enterprises that are not engaged in reproduction and do not keep records, for example, in systems such as Dairy Comp, Selex, etc., are doomed to be unprofitable and engage in self-deception, because they don’t control important indicators of the enterprise directly, such as the period from calving to subsequent fertilization, they don’t know the number of pregnant cows and don’t know the percentage of fertility, ”experienced livestock breeders say. Indeed, if you do not control reproduction, each cow, instead of generating daily profits and living money, it can generate losses, and the manager would not even understand why.
Therefore, today such herd management programs are subsidized and supported by the RT Ministry of Agriculture. It should be noted that the program itself is not a magic pill, and the approach should be comprehensive. Today, many companies operating in the consulting services market come together and offer comprehensive solutions for fine-tuning reproduction, feeding, genetics and are ready to work together with the company, immersed in the process.
In the republic there are good examples of such farms as the agricultural holding "Tatarstan" and LLC "named after Timeryazev” of the Baltasinsky district, Shakhtar-Atninsky district LLC, Severny agricultural enterprise of the Arsky district, Kozlov peasant farm of the Arkhangelsk Novosheshminsky district and others. Due to an integrated approach, they improved the performance and became profitable. The best results achieved by these farms:
Reduced service period to 91 days
Increased fertilization of cows to 62%
Hunting detection up to 75%
Increased the number of pregnant cows in the herd to 62%
Average day of first insemination after calving is up to 55 days
The age of the first insemination of heifers is 12 months.
The output of calves is 85 per hundred goals.
