摘要: The feasibility of integrating the information about a number technology (IT) applications on dairy farms is gaining interest because potential to improve economic results. In this study optimal investment patterns involving five IT are evaluated: (1) automated concentrate feeding systems; (2) measurement daily physical activity cows; (3) in-line parlour systems recording milk production; (4) temperature; and (5) electrical conductivity milk. decisions optimised by dynamic programming taking into account price reduction technical progress over time. objective determine pattern value (stepwise) investments that maximises net present given planning horizon. Optimal calculated under different assumptions progress, farm characteristics scale. way it determined which conditions research would be incorporated. Results for typical Dutch show includes feeders. incorporated electronic individual cow identification hardware facilitates appraisal other sensor such as cows.
