Our Benchmarking and Performance Analysis Consulting services are designed to help your dairy operation identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement. Leveraging the extensive experience of our staff in dairy research and education, we provide expert guidance on how to use benchmarking and performance analysis to enhance your operation's performance and competitiveness.

For instance, our staff has experience in conducting research and analysis on various aspects of dairy farm performance. This includes projects such as the "Impact of Various Cooling Systems on Cow Comfort and Production Efficiency on Michigan Dairy Farms" and "Monitoring Cow Performance During Milking to Evaluate and Improve Worker Training, Cow Udder Health and Milk Quality". These projects involved collecting and analyzing data to assess the impact of different factors on farm performance and milk quality.

In addition, our staff has experience in benchmarking antibiotic usage on dairy farms as part of efforts to promote antimicrobial stewardship. This involves comparing your operation's antibiotic usage patterns with industry standards or best practices, identifying areas for improvement, and providing guidance on how to implement effective antimicrobial stewardship practices.

Moreover, our staff understands the importance of using data to inform decision-making in dairy farm management. Therefore, we can help you set up systems for collecting and analyzing data on various aspects of your operation, from cow health and productivity to financial performance. We can also help you interpret this data and use it to make informed decisions that enhance your operation's performance and profitability.

Our Benchmarking and Performance Analysis Consulting services are about more than just comparing your operation with others. They are about using data-driven insights to identify opportunities for improvement, make informed decisions, and enhance the performance and competitiveness of your dairy operation.
