Herd Tracker II ^TM

 A Performance-Tracking-System that monitors

 Herd, Parlor and Operator Performance to maximize

 Parlor productivity and profitability

Herd Performance

• Manage bulk tank SCC’s by managing high SCC indications
• Compare the difference between high groups and low groups vs. feed intake
• Manage high temperature stress by monitoring milk temperature

Parlor Performance

• Turns per hour, unit-on-time, cows per hour is data graphically displayed so that “real problem” can be identified in “real time” so that decisions can be made to optimize operator performance

Operator Performance

• Monitor and minimize how often operators reattach milking units by milking shift
• Prep Procedures
  Compare cow prep ratios (percentage of the total Milk Produced during the first two minutes of milking) and average milk production by milking shift, operators or groups of cows to fine tune Prep Procedures for optimum udder health and parlor performance.

Herd Condition

• Generates reports on high SCC indication and high milk temperature to minimize health monitoring cost and to preempt illness.
• Monitors total, and average milk production over time for the entire herd or group to measure response to a feed program.
• Collects data to optimize the milk flow rate settings to minimize unit-on-time and promote good teat end condition.

Wash Water Temperature Monitoring

• Identify system washing problems before they create high bacteria counts. Identify which milking units are not washing properly. The Herd Tracker ^TM also switches the system from wash to milk.

Printer
An Optional Printer is also available.   Designed for wall mounting for easy access by owners and managers to monitor parlor performance and herd condition.

Track Milking Routines and Prepping Procedures

• Summarizes parlor, herd and operator performance automatically pinpointing problems as they occur

• Data is collected from each detacher, compiled and graphically displayed for viewing on a simple to use screen located for easy access

• Change settings yourself with a touch of a button and evaluate results during the next milking

• Although the Herd Tracker II ^TM is fully functional without a PC, data can be downloaded to a computer.
