Client:<\/strong> Dairy Australia Responsibilities:<\/strong> To design a report that provides an overview of the mastitis status of individual farms, develop the custom software, and set-up a dedicated website where farmers can generate reports<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Project Description” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” header_text_color=”#669933″ header_font_size=”18px”]<\/p>\n The need<\/u>:\u00a0 A lot of data relating to udder health is routinely collected on farm. Analysis of this information could provide farmers with a comprehensive snapshot of mastitis control in their herd, and support management planning for critical stages of the lactation.<\/p>\n What we did<\/u>:\u00a0 The Harris Park Group developed the concept and specifications for the Mastitis Focus Report in 2006, and beta-tested the software programmed by Dr Mike Larcombe in 2007. A series of workshops across the dairy regions were conducted in 2009 to help service providers become familiar with the report. And in 2008 the report-writer software was made available online.<\/p>\n The Mastitis Focus Report is a sophisticated tool that uses herd data to assess the key mastitis management areas on individual farms. Dairy farmers can get the report on-line, through their herd improvement organization and through some herd management software packages.<\/p>\n The Mastitis Focus Report has been subsequently adopted by DairyNZ with adaptations to suit their highly seasonal production system.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][et_pb_blurb admin_label=”Further Reading” title=”Further Reading” url_new_window=”off” use_icon=”off” icon_color=”#8cc63f” use_circle=”off” circle_color=”#8cc63f” use_circle_border=”off” circle_border_color=”#8cc63f” icon_placement=”top” animation=”top” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_icon_font_size=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” header_text_color=”#669933″]<\/p>\n Landing page for farmers to generate a report link<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>(maintained by Dairy Australia since 2013)<\/p>\n Introducing Mastitis Focus<\/a><\/p>\n
