Dairy herd management is a process that manages and regulates the health & productivity of dairy animal feed additives and is viewed as a cost saving process as it implements techniques of smart farming. Dairy herd management systems offer numerous benefits such as enabling dairy farm managers to keep count of animals, inspect & respond to livestock behaviour, record their conception rate, calf age, births, and promptly detect health related issues faced by the cattle.These management programs also include vaccination programs for prevention from diseases, parasite cleanse control measures and some blood tests too for the better management of health of the animals. Moreover, this management system is developed to increase overall efficiency and production in dairy herd farming with reduced cost and lesser time. Whereas, earlier dairy herd farming practices needed more time, labour, and high cost.
