Thousands of dairy farmers worldwide have chosen SCR to help them improve efficiency and drive growth. They depend on SCR systems to provide the insights and analytics that are essential for optimizing the productivity of every cow and maximizing herd performance.
Key advantages that SCR brings to farmers include: Increased profitability Fast ROI Advanced technology Simplicity
Increased profitability
By using SCR tags and systems to monitor health and reproduction at the individual cow level, farmers are gaining higher pregnancy rates, improved lactation curves and lower losses, which all work together to improve their profitability.
Fast ROI
Many farms realize a faster return on investment (ROI) from their SCR systems than they had expected. Some regain their investment almost completely through bottom-line savings in hormones, semen and/or medicines. Increased reproduction and milk productivity and labor efficiencies also contribute to a fast pay-off.
Advanced Technology
SCR customers know they can depend on SCR to bring them technological breakthroughs that help improve cow and farm performance. Rumination monitoring – our most recent game- changing innovation – is a highlight technology for large and small farms.
Simplicity
SCR products and systems are designed for simple operation. Even the most powerful management solutions require only minimal training for basic tasks, and the learning curve for power-users is also fast and easy.
