Join us for the NMC webinar presented by Curtis Horsens, "Leveraging Milk Monitoring and Parlor Performance Information to Boost Employee Compliance"
Wednesday, December 4, 2024 at 2:00 PM – Chicago time
Description
With trustworthy identification and milk yield measurement, dairy farm managers can use milk harvest information to monitor the performance of their milking technicians. This webinar, sponsored by Merck Animal Health, will showcase opportunities to use information gathered during the milk harvesting process to understand the workflow of the farm staff, cow milkability and efficiency of the milking parlor. Many people play a role in the milking process and this webinar will inspire attendees on how to use objective insights to coach employees and improve the milking experience of each cow at each shift.
