FarmOps is Munster Bovine’s mobile application developed by our Vets that recommends the right task at the right time to Dairy and Beef farmers who want to see real progress.
FarmOps Offers:
For the first time, FarmOps brings SCC & treatments together in one place. Each cow’s SCC & treatment history is clearly presented. High SCC cows are displayed in groups:
Using our new Milk Recording Lifetime rank, FarmOps makes it easy for you to find your best cows. With the Margin Analyser, find
out why your best cows are your best. Is it genetics, days
in milk, days dry, SCC?
Should you be feeding 3, 4 or 5kg of nuts in the parlour? Based on your grass / silage input, FarmOps tells you what your average cow needs. You can also see the spread within your herd quickly and easily.
The FarmOps Dry Off Module seamlessly makes sense of all the relevant information relating to drying off cows, telling farmers What To Do and When To Do It! Two big questions that need to be answered for each cow in the herd:
With the changing legislation relating to the use of anitbiotics, SDCT will be become the norm when drying off dairy cows.
FarmOps will ensure this transition is successful while eliminating the requirement for lengthy data analysis.
Herd suitability – FarmOps will use all milk recording data from the current and previous lactations and will ask key questions to ensure the suitability of the herd and farm for SDCT.
Cow suitability – Once FarmOps has established the herds suitability, herdowners can select yes for SDCT. FarmOps will then calculate the % of cows that meet the criteria for SDCT.
The % of cows that herdowners wish to use SDCT on can then be selected. Cows that are not suitable for SDCT will be assigned a treatment category based on their milk recording SCC history and their clinical mastitis history.
Cows not suitable for SDCT will be assigned a treatment category based on their milk recording, SCC history and their clinical mastitis history.
Timing of dry off will be calculated for each cow based on the best available information – expected calving date (from recorded serves or pregnancy diagnosis) and days in milk.
Vulnerable cows (1st lactation or diagnosed carrying twins) can be given a long dry period in addition to cows requiring a long dry period for SCC reasons.
All dairy farmers will benefit from the dry-off function in FarmOps. However, the more information that flows into FarmOps, the more feedback FarmOps will give you. FarmOps will make use of your milk recording data like never before.
Recording mastitis and treatments will result in actions and not just compliance and recording serves and scanning your cows will result in accurate, appropriate dry-off dates for all your cows.
The Health Events and treatments module in FarmOps will allow easy and accurate recording of all remedy purchases and animal treatments. This will help your herd to be more sustainable and efficient.
Recording of remedy purchases and animal treatments in FarmOps will ensure you meet your Bord Bia and cross compliance obligations. A compliance report for purchases and treatments can be generated and emailed for your own records and for inspections.
FarmOps has over 800 animal remedies preloaded and ready to use, with advice, warnings, and protocols for each product.

The Herd Health module in FarmOps is completely new and available in no other application. For the first time, Munster Bovine Herd Health customers can access all of their current and previous Herd Health test results within the app. Each result is individually colour coded for easy interpretation.
All dairy farmers who are Munster Bovine Herd Health customers will benefit. This module in FarmOps really brings the Herd Health Programme to life for the herd owner and will help achieve better outcomes for our customers
Munster Bovine’s Vet team can harness the historical Herd Health information available in FarmOps which will facilitate a more informed one to one Herd Health Advisory end of year Vet meeting. Rather than looking at a point in time, all herd disease history can be taken into consideration and the best recommendations can be made.
The following key breeding metrics are available during the breeding season.
We will estimate the number of cows & heifers that should be on heat today. This will help flag to you if you have a problem with cows not cycling or heat observation very early.
We will show you the number of cows & heifers that could repeat today. These are the animals to keep a close watch on in case of repeat.
We will count all your serves each day and check how many are valid (e.g. we will exclude 1 day repeats). This can be compared then against the target number of serves set daily for your herd. This will help you see how the breeding season is progressing for you. If you are not hitting the targets, there may be an investigation required.
We will show you the cows and heifers that are eligible to be served (calved over 35 days) and that are not yet served. This will help identify animals with problems easily.
We will calculate each day the number of cows & heifers that are likely to be empty in the herd. This will help you to give you a view as to how the breeding season is progressing.
We will show you how many mature fertile stock bulls that would be required to serve the potentially empty animals in the herd.
