Cattle farmers often lack transparent insights in the reasons that cause milk cows or calves to have to leave the herd. For milk cows, cattle farmers often suspect that they must be retired due to problems in terms of fertility, udder health or claw problems. While these assumptions can be correct, the root cause of 80% of all forced retirements are infections. These are caused by an increased infection pressure and/or reduced resistance. As there is no disease without infection, cattle farmers can prevent many problems and early retirements by creating an environment that reduces the chances of infection for calves and cows to a minimum.
HyCare creates a new standard in the field of hygiene and care for dairy herds. This management approach aims at increasing the health of old cows by reducing the chances of infections. The key pillars that form the HyCare foundation are: clean feed and drinking water, a low-pathogenic living environment, pest and vermin control, healthy claws and a healthy transition. A key requirement of any such approach, is that it must be easy to both implement and consistently execute for cattle farmers. This is exactly why many of the HyCare tasks are automated, outsourced or structured to make them easy to apply. HyCare therefore means proper hygiene and ideal living conditions, as well as easy and structured work to increase both efficiency and work satisfaction.
