Seamless Dairy Data Solutions for Better Decisions
Like many aspects of agriculture, big data in dairy farming is changing the game. Businesses across feeding, genetics, sensors, and dairy advisory services are leveraging standardized dairy data to improve efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. Dairy Data Warehouse provides tools that help companies create innovative solutions, enhance herd performance, and support consultants in making better decisions. It contributes both individual and herd-level information to assist agribusinesses with decision-making across 47 countries—and that number continues to grow.

Dairy Data Warehouse offers seamless dairy data solutions, enabling customers to connect with herd management software, milk processing systems, MROs, and TMR software. Customers can choose from over 120 KPIs to measure and monitor, such as average lactation, average days in milk, days to conception, insemination/pregnancy rates, and many more.

Drill Down to Individual Cows
Dairy Data Warehouse provides detailed dairy data solutions for every individual cow on partner farms—what we call Individual Cow Data Marts (ICDMS). This solution offers precise data on everything from a cow’s fertility to milk production. Big data in dairy farming accessed through ICDMS can reveal health and reproductive tracking, milk production trends, and even feeding and movement data. ICDMS is ideal for building precision dairy farming tools, animal health applications, genetic solutions, or any innovation requiring animal-by-animal insights. If your company is creating technology for farms or veterinarians, ICDMS from Dairy Data Warehouse can be critical to your success.

Examples of Dairy Data Solutions in Action

• ABC Feed Company integrates data solutions from Dairy Data Warehouse to track how different rations impact milk yield across multiple farms. By adjusting nutrient composition based on real-time feed conversion efficiency data, the company has helped customers reduce feed waste while improving milk production.
• XY Genetics Company uses reproduction and milk production data from Dairy Data Warehouse to rank bulls based on real-world performance. This enables dairy farmers to select sires that maximize herd fertility and milk yield.
• Tech Sensor Company 123 integrates health and milk production KPIs from Dairy Data Warehouse with its movement-tracking sensors. By combining activity data with milk yield and health records, dairy farmers can detect lameness and mastitis earlier, lowering treatment costs.

Take a 30,000-Foot View
Dairy Data Warehouse also elevates individual cow data by combining it into herd-wide intelligence. Our herd-level insights solution, the KPI Library, provides benchmarking, analytics, and decision-making tools.

For example, DDW’s KPI Library can aggregate data on milk yield per herd, fertility and breeding performance, and indicators of animal health and sustainability. Another application is examining feed conversion efficiency across herds, milk yield per cow, and fat-to-protein ratios. By analyzing these insights, dairy nutritionists can ensure cows receive the right nutrient balance to optimize milk production without overfeeding, which is both costly and wasteful. Overweight cows, for instance, are more prone to disease and post-pregnancy complications.

This big data in dairy farming can be leveraged by consultants, feed and nutrition companies, research organizations, and even policymakers to support smarter, industry-wide decisions.
