Stray voltage on dairy farms
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.

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.
First-aid for heat stressed cow
AEMON: Automatic detection of ammonia in dairy barns
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.
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.
This often results in incoherent recommendations and in some cases large differences in the amount of additional concentrate that farmers provide to their cows.
Cross-border exchange and application of research innovations aiming to increase nitrogen efficiency in dairy nutrition and profitability of dairy farms.

The grazing cow monitor is one of the use cases of the IOF2020 project. This European project wants to increase the use of technology and data in the agricultural sector.
Methane emission reduction by one-third now possible on Flemish dairy farms.
Beer draff, rapeseed meal and seaweed for methane reduction in dairy cattle
LA trail HappyCliMi is testing the use of rapeseed meal and draff in feed rations for dairy cattle in practice, as well as screening other locally-available feedstocks and byproducts for their potential for methane-reducing potential in dairy cattle.
Internet-of-Cows: sensors for detection of heat and calving in dairy cattle
Sensors that continuously measure dairy cow behaviors such as lying down, walking, standing, eating and ruminating can predict timing of heat and calving within 2 and 24 hours in advance with high accuracy.
