GEA Farm Technologies and SenseHub Dairy, powered by MSD Animal Health, have announced a collaboration to enhance dairy farming performance in New Zealand. This partnership focuses on integrating GEA's milking systems and automation with SenseHub Dairy's cutting-edge animal monitoring and milk sensor technology.
The collaboration is designed to provide farmers with comprehensive on-farm solutions that facilitate improved decision-making, better animal health, and increased operational efficiency. Key components of this partnership include seamless integration of monitoring tools, milk sensors, and somatic cell count technology into both existing and new milking systems.
This integration allows farmers to access reliable daily data, enabling earlier detection of issues and promoting proactive herd management. The initiative is supported by the trusted dealer networks of both companies, ensuring that farmers receive consistent and high-quality service alongside these innovative solutions.
Austin Heffernan, the business unit lead for Allflex/SenseHub Dairy, stated, "By combining proven technologies and practical expertise, GEA and SenseHub Dairy are helping farmers build healthier herds and drive long-term productivity."
