The most accurate system of its type, AfiAct II uses long-range radio to collect behavior data anywhere on the farm - from herds of any size - and updates results at short intervals. Highly scalable and adaptable, the system is available as a stand-alone solution, or integrated with Afimilk's farm and milking parlor management system. AfiAct II is also web-accessible on any type of device.
Already, with the AfiAct heat detection system, U.S. customers are achieving pregnancy rates above 25 percent. Operating wirelessly, AfiAct II reduces open days and operating costs, resulting in savings of $100-$150 per cow, per lactation.
Afimilk, a world-leading dairy management company, developed the first and, currently, most precise, heat detection system. Recently, the company launched its next-generation solution for heat detection. As part of this collaboration, ABS will further extend its portfolio of reproduction offerings by introducing the AfiAct II system to customers in the U.S. and Canada.
