1 Sustainability at Dairy farms Friesland Campina, Gerrit Hegen Longer productive life In balance with environment
2 Sustainability at dairy farms with the Cow-compass à In favour for the farmer à Holistic view and predictive at the farm à Holistic aproach of the vet: connects results and communicates with the farmer
3 Good for the cow à cow is good for you!! Why? Animal welfare is profitable for the farmer
4 Monitoring system, riskanalysis: Cow Compass HACCP: no Risk-analysis: yes, high potential. Analysis shows risk factors at the farm Risks focused at quality milk Risks focused at quality way milk is produced 2 audits per year Two assessment + control visits à evaluation Certified veterinarian à ICM training
5 Quality management- issues Food safety -> zoonoses -> animal disease incidence -> water supply Animal friendly -> animal disease incidence -> cow comfort / welfare -> natural surroundings Sustainable -> animal disease incidence -> manure: N, P, C -> age at culling 5
