Information is everything, but for effective herd management, the challenge is how to analyze all the available data profitably in order to make sound decisions. GEA gives you the equipment you need. Ever since the arrival of modern digital and sensor-based technologies in agriculture, GEA has been developing powerful tools that help you keep track of your cows’ welfare as well as the efficiency of your operation. A good herd management system gathers not only as much information on milk production as possible, but also combines and interprets it at crucial moments. Let GEA’s digital expertise make it easier for you to manage your herd and production processes.
Improving animal welfare through connectivity & digitalization is our focus. Together with sustainability and flexibility it creates the foundation for next generation farming.
