The InCalf programme helps to assess and enhance a herd's reproductive performance. It offers a range of tools and resources designed to boost herd fertility and heat detection, assisting farmers in getting cows back in calf more efficiently. The InCalf Foundations training course is a two-day interactive programme that shows participants how to use these resources, leading to better reproductive outcomes. By integrating Fertility Focus reports, the InCalf book, and the guidance of trained InCalf advisers, farmers can achieve a notable improvement in their herd's reproductive performance. There's an emphasis on understanding the economics of reproductive performance and leveraging these tools for business growth.
InCalf programme
The InCalf programme is designed to help dairy farmers assess and improve their herd reproductive performance.
InCalf is a learning package of tools and resources aimed at improving herd fertility and heat detection, helping farmers get their cows back in calf earlier, and reducing empties.
Farmers will get the most out of InCalf through an integrated approach, combining their Fertility Focus reports with information from the InCalf book and support from InCalf-trained advisers working with InCalf tools.
Herd fertility is complex, requiring a range of expertise to better diagnose areas to improve and to implement chosen management options. As part of the InCalf programme, dairy farmers can work with trained InCalf advisers to gain value in terms of measured performance improvement.
