The Cow Calendar is a system of detailed record-keeping for individual cows. It is essential for small dairy farmers, enabling them to monitor performance, evaluate management practices and make informed decisions on breeding, culling and feeding strategies. This leads in increased milk production, better herd health and improved overall farm profitability. Key benefits: Monitoring and Evaluation of: - Individual Cow Performance by tracking reproductive cycles and health events helps identify underperforming cows and address issues early. - Fertility Tracking by monitoring heat and calving intervals supports timely breeding, maintaining optimal reproduction cycles. Decision-Making - Culling as by record-keeping helps identify cows with low productivity or chronic issues, supporting timely culling decisions and herd improvement. Increased Profitability - Higher Milk Yield by improved management that leads to better productivity per cow. - Reduced Costs with targeted feeding, breeding, and timely treatments lower input and veterinary costs. Through this simple yet valuable tool, GIZ supports the transformation of Albania’s dairy sector. In partnership with businesses and public institutions, the initiative aims to enhance competitiveness, improve rural livelihoods and promote greener, smarter farming in the context of EU integration.
