“Before using SCR’s Heatime System, I made all the decisions based on personal experience. Now with Heatime, I feel closer to the cows and more confident in my decisions.”

Alessandro Nicola, Co-Owner and Herd Manager

Challenges

Nicola felt that visual observation wasn’t delivering the maximum pregnancy rate. “I had the feeling that I was missing heats and this was something we just couldn’t afford,” he explains.

System

Allflex Heatime® HR System with rumination, heat detection and cow identification.

Benefits

With the Allflex Heatime HR System, Nicola Renato’s insemination success rate has been improving. Within six months of installing the system, the dairy’s average conception interval had decreased by 19 days.
