Where there are cows, there is methane. But instead of treating methane as a liability, we should see it as an asset and an economic opportunity for dairy producers. The latest Cainthus webinar zoomed in on what this means in practice.

Technologies are the future of the dairy farms, but which solutions are out there and ready for the US market? At the World Dairy Expo TECH SPOTLIGHT online event, 11 dairy tech start-ups shared their innovative solutions and 3 dairy experts explained the keys to success for implementation tech on a dairy farm.

For dairy farmers it is all about consistency, feed in the bunk and a lying spot for each cow. When all of these boxes are checked, cows remain healthy and produce more milk. In practice, this means monitoring what's happening at pen level, instead of individual animals. This approach is proving to be the most effective for large dairies.

What time did the first feed delivery happen today? Are all push-ups done when they should be? Are milkings taking too long? Do my weekend staff perform as well as my weekday staff? New insights, provided by dairy tech company Cainthus, gives producers clear answers to all these important questions.

Barb grew up on a dairy farm in the US and went to vet school to become a large animal practitioner. Over the years, Barb worked as an independent dairy veterinarian at a large animal health pharmaceutical company. She joined the Cainthus team in December 2021 as new Technical Sales Director for Eastern USA.

Sustainable farming has never been so prevalent. We caught up with Juan Tricarico from the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy to talk about enteric methane emissions and how to get to net zero carbon dairy farming by 2050.

The Cow Comfort index is a relatively new metric for dairy farmers, but effective use of the index can clearly show what can be improved in a dairy’s daily routine. Increasing lying time, even just 5-10 minutes per day, can have a significant impact on health and milk production.

Agriculture is slowly undergoing a radical transformation thanks to advancement in Artificial Intelligence. Although farming is a newcomer for this exciting technology, applications grow at a rapid pace and will be more diverse in the near future. But what can AI do for cows?

The word “sustainable” is increasingly controversial. In 2005, the UN sought to define “sustainability” through three pillars: social, economic, and environmental sustainability. If we can accept that we can only be sustainable in two pillars at any given time, then which two should we focus upon when trying to create a sustainable global Ag system?

In this article from Dairy Herd Management, Aidan Connolly looks into the series of platforms Dairy producers can choose from and raises a few questions about the future of Dairy data.

In this article from Farm Journal, Aidan Connolly, keynote speaker at the recent Precision Dairy Conference hosted by the University of Minnesota last June, highlights how Dairy producers increasingly recognize that future revenue may go beyond the traditional focus of just looking at the price of milk.

In this article from Dairy Herd management, Aidan Connolly talks about the ‘power of the pen’ philosophy, leading to changes in how farms feed, vaccinate and manage their cows. Monitoring what's happening at the pen level, rather than for individual dairy cows, is proving to be the best approach for largest US Dairy farms.

As a winner of the 2021 World Ag Expo® Top 10 new products competition, Cainthus was selected to take part in the Valley Grown program on ABC 30 last February. Watch the video here.

“As managers of a large dairy, you have to find ways to see things when you are not here,” said Steve Maddox Jr. “Now we can see exactly what is being done and when, which is really beneficial.” In this article from the Hoard’s Dairyman, discover how Maddox Dairy, Riverdale, California, is able to more closely monitor their herd day and night, using Cainthus and optimize milk production.

The average number of milking cows per dairy continues to grow, and this consolidation process is reflected by the fact that the world’s top 10 biggest dairy groups now milk a total of 1 million dairy cows. Read the full article published in Progressive Dairy this April.

Chrissy Wozniak from North American Ag sits down with Tyler Bramble to talk about Computer Vision and AI in Dairy: How Cainthus offers a technology that is transformational for animal, farmers and the production of food.

In this podcast by the World Dairy Expo, Rodney Elliot, Owner of Drumgoon Dairy talks about his move from Ireland to South Dakota and how data is issued to better manage his growing herd. ‘We are using Cainthus to monitor how our cows eat and how we deliver feed’’.
