Herd-i installs cameras in the parlor and automatically scores every cow after every milking. The system identifies early signs of lameness and body condition changes before they become more costly problems, without changing the milking routine or adding another task for employees.

The result is a simple, customizable dashboard. So problems get identified earlier, and your team always knows which cows need attention first.
