AfiMilk: A Sheep and Goat Comprehensive Management System-Larissa Hileman


Over the past five years, my younger brother has started his own Boer Goat farm. Though his main focus is to produce his own wethers for fair and doe's for breeding, the whole family focuses on making profits and finding ways to continue our education in the goat industry. This device is three years old, but when you read the article http://www.export.gov.il/Eng/_Articles/Article.asp?ArticleID=3212&CategoryID=399, you will notice that it is based in Israel. We do not milk our goats but I still think this system would help in any scenario. It claims to provide tools for management of individual animals, fertility, kidding, health problems, nutrition, and allows for identification of possible culls in the herd. I really think this system will be helpful and will allow for improved efficiency, productivity, and extra profits.
