The DataGene HerdData App will be available on both the Google Play and iOs App Stores.ĭataGene HerdData was developed by DataGene, an initiative of Dairy Australia and industry. Initially developed by Hico, further refinements were funded by the Gardiner Dairy Foundation. For industry, more complete herd records reaching the genetic evaluation system would allow for more accurate Australian Breeding Values (ABVs) and opportunities to develop new ABVs including additional health traits. For farmers, more complete records would allow for better management decisions based on the various reports available. Examples of information records that may not be captured include calving information observed in a paddock, pregnancy test results called out by the vet, or health events and treatments which may occur in the paddock or dairy.īoth individual dairy farmers and the herd improvement industry stand to benefit from capturing these records. While many dairy farmers have computerised herd records, an ongoing challenge has been to get information observed in the field (and often hand written in a note book) into the herd’s computerised record system. That means more accurate breeding values and opportunities for new breeding values, such as for health traits.
