Welfarm is a comprehensive tool designed to monitor the health and wellbeing of dairy cows. By subscribing to the complete Welfarm programme, you can collect critical data on various aspects of your herd, including mastitis, lameness, reproduction, tail damage, drug usage, mortality rates, and body condition scoring.
