Are you ready to take herd management to the next level? Save 100 € per cow per year. CowFIT is your smart solution for real-time cow weight monitoring—empowering you to keep every cow in optimal energy balance. With advanced 3D cameras, AI, and cloud technology, CowFIT delivers daily, precise weight data to help you make faster, smarter decisions on feeding, reproduction, and health. Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to healthier cows, higher milk yields, and improved profitability.
Energy balance plays a crucial role in cow’s reproductive performance, productivity, health, and longevity. An energy imbalance or rapid changes in weight can affect your cows’ health and performance, including:
- health problems in the critical transition period
- poor fertility performance due to a negative energy balance at insemination
- low milk yield
- involuntary culling and high cow mortality
How can you ensure that each of your cows’ daily nutrient requirements are met, but not exceeded, throughout the different stages of lactation and her lifetime?
The key to success and high performance is acting fast and preventing problems. Keeping cows in the correct energy balance demands objective and reliable data on their weight.
Boost productivity
Avoid weight changes in the dry period and improve your herd’s productivity.
Improve reproduction
Make sure to inseminate cows when they are in positive energy balance and achieve improvements in reproduction performance.
Lower cow mortality
Prevent extensive weight loss in the dry period and ensure better survivability.
CowFIT monitoring system provides real-time data on the weight of every cow in your herd to support your management decisions.
Are you having any of these issues with cows in your dairy herd?
- losing or gaining too much weight in the dry period
- gaining too much weight late in the lactation
- losing too much or too little weight in early lactation
- heifers are too small at first calving
The combination of advanced 3D cameras, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing delivers precise data on cow weight on a daily basis throughout the lactation.
You get consistent and accurate data on the weight of individual animals and groups of cows depending on the parity and stages in the lactation, and you can easily track weight changes at the herd level.
This data empowers you to optimise herd management in cooperation with nutritionists, vets, and advisors. You can access the data directly on the web-based portal with an easy-to-use interface.
Save time and resources spent on subjective body condition scoring. You no longer need to guess when your animals are in positive energy balance and are ready for insemination.
Daily data on key weight metrics
High-quality, objective data on weight changes for every cow throughout lactation to ensure that they are in the correct energy balance.
Reliable insights for higher profit
Easy to use interface with real-time dashboards and insightful reports to help you make well-informed management decisions.
Easy access to data – your key to success
All data is stored in one place – readily available for you, your employees, and advisors.
The only way to change cow’s weight is by changing the diet. If the weight or weight change is too high or too low, you can adjust the energy concentration in the diet or the amount of feed the cow gets.
With CowFIT you are always on top of your tasks, ensuring your every cow’s wellbeing, optimising herd performance and securing the profitability of your dairy business.
On average you could earn an extra 100 € per cow per year. That comes from increased milk production and reduced costs related to improved reproduction, health, and survivability.
The economic benefits are calculated by the SimHerd simulation programme based on the Nordic conditions, which has a strong scientific foundation. The simulation model accounts for associations between milk production, health, reproduction, and climate impact. It simulates each cow in the herd over a 10-year period, and repeats it 100 times to ensure reliable results.
