Increase of successful insemination rate
The ProfitCam cameras measure the Body Condition of a dairy cow at each milking. This allow us to get a very accurate trend of BCS changes during lactation. We have observed a precise relationship between insemination success and BCS trend and we have developed an algorithm based on the data collected by the camera, to predict when insemination is most likely to be successful.
