Main research questionBeef and dairy cattle farmers are acutely aware of the effects of heat stress on their animals during the past hot summers. They also have questions about what they can do to mitigate the consequences. This project aims to support Flemish cattle farmers in the choice of appropriate preventive measures.

Stray voltage on dairy farms
Are your cows acting nervous or upset, without an obvious reason? Stray voltage can be measured, tracked down and often resolved quickly.
Dairy farm losses from heat waves quantified
Agricultural economists juxtaposed long-term production figures from all Flemish dairy farms with recorded weather events to assess the economic damage caused by heat.

Stray voltage can affect the productivity and the welfare of dairy cattle.
Grazing Cow Monitor
De grazing cow monitor is één van de use cases in het IOF2020-project. Dit Europese project wil het gebruik van technologie en data in de landbouwsector wil stimuleren.
AEMON: Automatic detection of ammonia in dairy barns
Field beans in dairy cattle farming: toasting (for) success?
Field beans are an interesting alternative for imported soy in dairy production, but only if the beans are first heated. Those are the results from the ILVO-study within the EKOPTI project. Heating is required for good digestion and also helps in storage.
