It supports seasonal, split calving and year-round calving herds (herds that take more than 25 weeks for 80% of the herd to calve). Interpreting the reportĪ report for your herd can be detailed, intermediate or basic and analyse up to three years of herd records to monitor performance over successive seasons. InCalf, through DairyNZ, has licensed LIC, CRV AmBreed and Infovet to produce Fertility Focus reports. The results of your report can be used with the Herd Assessment Pack Tools to predict your increased income from making improvements in the measured management areas.

It then compares your herd's performance against targets based on the performance of the top 25% of the industry.

Got questions? Contact report uses existing herd data to calculate and present the key KPIs of herd reproductive performance. Now we have more than 4000 herds with detailed reports and their data is pouring into Dairy Statistics, giving a more accurate picture of herd reproductive performance in NZ.įrom this data we have been able to adjust the targets and triggers behind the Fertility Focus Report to accurately reflect what is achievable on farm. That’s because technology has slowly shaped the way people live their lives. You don’t see children engage in outdoor activities as much as they did years ago. When Fertility Focus Reports were first produced in NZ in 2007, there were fewer than 500 herds producing high quality detailed reports. Let’s take a loot at a few creative community project ideas to inspire you: 1. Here’s a natural weed control remedy many gardeners find effective: Mix vinegar with a small amount of dish soap, put the mixture in a spray bottle. The changes also give clarity around performance after week six of mating and allows us to adjust the not-in-calf rate targets to what is realistic and achievable. Remedy 4: Douse it with a homemade mixture.

These changes demanded adjustments to the calving pattern targets and triggers on the Fertility Focus Report. Average mating lengths have shortened and more 15-month heifers are being mated ahead of the herd. With the ban of inductions, herd’s calving patterns are no longer influenced by the practice and now accurately reflect the previous season’s reproductive performance. In line with the increased knowledge, the InCalf book for NZ dairy farmers 2 nd edition was released in 2018, the InCalf training programme has been redeveloped and piloted in 2018 and now we have an updated Fertility Focus Report to share with the sector. It’s been a decade since the InCalf programme was released in New Zealand by DairyNZ and there have been many advances in what we know about herd reproductive performance.
