The Importance of Fertility Management in Dairy Cows

20.08.2025

Fertility management is a vital component of dairy farming that directly influences milk production, economic viability, and herd health. Ensuring optimal calving intervals, ideally every 12 to 14 months, is crucial for maintaining consistent and high milk yields. Regular calving allows cows to stay in peak lactation phases, maximizing their productivity. 

Effective fertility management helps reduce costs linked to reproductive disorders and extended calving intervals. Cows with fertility issues often need additional veterinary care, increasing operational expenses. By maintaining good reproductive health, these costs are minimized, and overall farm profitability is improved. Moreover, well-managed fertility results in higher milk yields, contributing to increased revenue. Regularly calving cows, provides more opportunities for herd expansion or additional income through calf sales.

At IMV Technology, we recognize the crucial role of fertility and health management in dairy cows. That's why  we have developed innovative technology, BovIntel to help you manage these aspects more effectively. 

Exclusively for the Easi-Scan:Go, BovIntel is a user-friendly addition to the Go app. 

As you scan, it will automatically: 

  • Detect the Ovary, Corpus Luteum, Cysts and Follicle in an ultrasound image. 
  • Highlight and label them in colour on your tablet or BUG screen. 
  • Provide precise measurements down to the nearest millimetre.

This functionality integrates seamlessly into your workflow and can increase scanning speed by up to three times. IMV Technology is committed to innovation and continuously challenging the status quo. We also focus on educating users about new ultrasound applications and providing access to learning resources to help you get the most out of your equipment. 

To help you maximize fertility and conception rates on your farm, we have made several resources available for your use.
