In the MuD project #FitForCows, a traffic light system was developed to help quickly recognise changes in animals and take countermeasures at an early stage. The implementation is intended to ensure and improve animal welfare in the cowshed and is aimed at dairy farmers in practice as well as trainees and students of agriculture.
Knowledge and practical tips are offered as part of an interactive e-learning programme and the FitForCows app and can be used free of charge with immediate effect.
Topics covered include udder health, fertility, claw and pain management, heat stress, inflammation pathology and digestion. The offer is growing continuously.
