Animals: Record Keeping and
Monitoring

As with any system record keeping and monitoring on an AMS farm is important to assess the performance of the current operation and identify areas for improvement.  

There is a lot of information that can be obtained on a daily basis from an AMS; however it is important to work out what information you need to improve the overall performance of the farm business.

Start by assessing the overall farm position using tools such as DairyBase to benchmark your system against others as well as cash flow and annual budgets. Most if this information is not specific to an AMS.

The detailed data collected by the AMS is most useful for monitoring cow flow, machine utilisation, animal health and yield.
