Maintenance an calibration
The following points are important to sustain
correct dosing of etergents. Note that
these two tasks should be performed by an
authorised DeLaval service engineer.
• The tubes in the peristaltic pumps should
be replaced at least two times a year.
• The dosing volume (P6-P8) of the
detergent pumps should be checked
every third month. The dosing capacity
(P32-P34) may need to be adjusted.
Starting cleaning or rinsing
from the touch screen
Note: Any ongoing backflush process must
first be finished before cleaning or rinsing
can be started.
1. Ensure that the milking station is in
manual mode.
2. Remove any cow that might be in the
milking station.
After treatment window
Note: Both gates should be closed to
prevent a cow from entering before the
system cleaning has been started. Closing
and opening gates is done in the Stall
control window.
3. Press the tab After Treatment on the
touch screen to display the After treatment
window.
4. In the After treatment window, press the
Cleaning and Rinsing button. This will open
the Cleaning and rinsing window.
4 Proactive farm management via
the Herd Navigator 100 system
Traditionally, farm management is based on
here-and-now actions from observations made in
the herd, together with information from the farm
management system and other data sources.
By analysing progesterone, Herd Navigator 100
creates alarms for heats, pregnancies, abortions
and reproduction disorders.
The Herd Navigator 100 biomodel tells the sys-
tem when different cows need to be sampled.
4.1 Biomodel
The Herd Navigator 100 biomodel:
n Tells the system when different cows need to
be sampled.
n Processes the results from the milk sample
analysis.
n Updates the state of each cow, whenever a
new measurement result is received.
n Self-learns, which means that estimations
and predictions of the state of individual cows
improve each time the cow is measured.
n Sets heat alarms, along with an estimate of
the quality of the heat.
n Adjusts the reproduction status from anoes-
trus, to cyclic and then to potentially pregnant
depending on progesterone measurements.
n After insemination, confirms pregnancy and
checks for possible abortions.
n Issues warnings of abortions.
n Issues risks for prolonged anoestrus, follicu-
lar cysts, and luteal cysts.
Note! To get proper results, it is very important
to continuously update the cow calendar in Del-
Pro Farm Manager software. Reproduction
events, latest calvings, inseminations and preg-
nancy checks need to be registered in the system
daily.
4.2 Distribution of cows in the herd
The system is developed for all year calving and
not for strict seasonal calving.
