Replacement strategy – when is my cow now longer profitable?

As a dairy farmer, you make daily decisions that have an impact on the final farm result. Making the right choices is therefore hugely important. Six dairy farmers took the initiative to help the sector move forward by offering practical tailor-made tools for the dairy sector. The development was done together with Boerenbond and ILVO through an Operational Group and with support from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development. This tool aims to support the dairy farmer in decisions regarding replacement strategy. It easily calculates the minimum production of a (reformed) cow to break even. And this is always for two possible situations: comparison with an upcoming heifer and calculation of the minimum production to break even.
