ICBF dairy calving reports now online

The 2018 dairy calving statistics report can now be viewed online by HerdPlus members. The ICBF said a dairy farmer’s latest report can be viewed by logging into their HerdPlus account and selecting: reports > calving > dairy calving report. The calving report looks at all dairy calvings in the herd between 1 July 2017 and 30 June 2018. The ICBF says this allows herd owners and managers to fully assess their calving performance through key performance indicators (KPIs) such as calving interval, six-week calving rates, etc. These KPIs can be discussed with the herd’s adviser and used to inform breeding and management decisions in the coming year.
