Dairy Herd Management Market Drivers

The recent adaptation of sustainable practices will augment the growth of the Dairy Herd Management Market.

Dairy herd managers have widely adopted sustainability models. For one, they help in conserving the environment. For two, they help them save costs in their daily operations. For example, MVP dairy, a budding farm model, has adopted manure management, soil health management, and bio-diversity in totality. The results generated from their regenerative farming provided them with strong results. They observed a CO2 reduction of 6,755 tons in a year, which was equivalent to saving energy from 662 American homes. Moreover, their manure management systems allowed them to emit 60% less emission than the traditional methods. Similarly, other managers of dairy herds save costs up to $200,000 a year by using organic digestate instead of chemical fertilizers, which in turn reduces carbon emissions and soil erosion. The following practices adopted will help in the growth of Dairy Herd Management Markets.

The usage of AI models and analytics has subjugated the demand for the following market.

Dairy producers have always encountered problems pertaining to labor shortages and hikes. Moreover, technology such as AI and analytics have helped in compensating for their need. For example, as per the recent testimonial by the DeLaval Dairy Service, age-old dairy producers, and managers, said that the challenge for finding reliable labor or people forced them to adapt to machines and robots in their daily activities. As a result, they adopted using robots, which helped save the hours and the labor cost associated by up to 52-54%; moreover, it helped to increase the consistency of post-dip application, which have helped mitigate the use of laborers in the broader terms.
