DairyPilot® | Improved Cow Well-Being, Fertility and Hoof Health

At Friedrich Blanke’s farm, DairyPilot® supported cow well-being, fertility and hoof health in a herd of 210 dairy cows. The solution also contributed to greater resilience and a slight increase in milk yield.

The operation

  • 210 cows in lactation (predominantly Holstein Friesian)
  • Three milking robots
  • Average herd performance: 10,000 litres | 4.2% fat | 3.4% protein

Our solution

150 g DairyPilot® per animal/day


The goal

  • Improve overall animal health
  • Eliminate background noise in the herd (fertility, hoof health, cell counts)
  • Improve cows’ well-being

The success

After use of DairyPilot®, the animals’ well-being improved noticeably – with positive effects on fertility and hoof health. The herd is extremely resilient, especially in challenging times, such as outbreaks of salmonella or bluetongue. A slight increase in milk yield was also observed.
