Monday April 22, 2013, the Veterinary Cattle Breeders Club (VVFC; www.veefokkers.com) did organize a symposium on the end of the milk quota era in the EU. Three speakers were invited: one on the history (Mr ketelaars), one on the farmers view (Kees Romijn, LTO) and one on the effects for the veterinary business (me). In my analysis I have distinguished three effects: 1: more variation in milk prices; and thus on the state of mind of your clients. 2. an effect on the seize on thefarm, which has cosequences for the returns of a veterinary practise, becacuse larger farms spend less money per cow on veterinary services. The challenges is how to deal with that. I think that there are opportunities, but veterinary practises have to become entrepeneurs, think about new "products"to market to their clients (and to new clients) and 3 the costs of animal diseases will increase quite a lot because the costs of milk production losses will become higher. This opens opportunities for more prevetnive medicine.
I was invited by Study club Morgen (tomorrow), a group of progressive (larger) Dutch dairy farmers to present at their annual meeting about cattle replacement decisions. Core of my presentation is that young stock rearing is more costly than you think. Given the Dutch phosphate laws (that are now developed), the costs will only increase. Think about the need for replacement: how many of your cows do need to be replaced and based upon that, think about numbers of young stock to raise. Do raise the young stock good.
Economic farm figures and the milk quotumHenk Hogeveen
I was invited by veterinary practise 't Leijdal (Chaam, the Netherlands) to give a presentation to their farmers. At the moment, the milk quota in the EU is abandoned. Many farmers think it is "liberation day". However, there will be a higher demand for their stockmanship and economic enterpreneurship. I gave a few ideas what will be important. Production per cow per day will become essential and due to the higher value of milk production losses, animal diseases wil lhave larger economic consequences
These are slides (in Dutch) of a presentation I gave at a dairy farmers study club in Alphen (Brabant), the Netherlands. It combines the most important findings of the work of Chaidate Inchaisri and the investment analysis of Niels Rutten on activity meters. Besides it shows the possibilities of using farm-specific tools to calculate costs of reproduction.
Last week I gave a presentation about the costs of mastitis at a symposium organized by the Dutch farm magazine Boerderij in co-operation with GD Animal Health Service. The title of the symposium was: Gezonde melkveehouderij (healthy dairy farming). I was asked to present the effects of the abolishment of the milk quota on costs of mastitis. Costs of mastitis do increase with more than 50 % because of the liberalized milk market in the EU. Besides that, I asked attention for preventive costs and failure costs of mastitis. The farmers are the ones that have to find the optimal balance and farm-specific economic calculations can help them with those decisions.
Bel Leerdammer, an important cheese producer in the Netherlands is working on the welfare of cows of farmers that deliver milk to them. To work on claw health they have initiated a claw health course for their farmers. A pilot version of that course is now being set up by Martien van Bostelen and Rinus van Wijck. They have asked me to do something on the economics of claw health. Besides the use of a calculation tool, I have explained the economics of claw health during a presentation. These are the slides I used during that presentation.

A vision on herd health management on large dairy farmsHenk Hogeveen
This is a presentation I gave this spring (four times) for groups of veterinarians active in the field of herd health management programs. Dutch dairy farms are growing rapidly in seize and that means the attitude of dairy farmers is changing. Dairy farmers are less and less people that accept what you say, but are becoming more and more people that work in partnerships. Veterinarians have to adapt to that new situation. In my opinion, herd health management programs should move beyond the classif monthly farm visits for pregnancy checks and talks about production records. Tailor made programs should be created to meet the farmers requirements around dairy cattle health. Requirements might differ between farmers and veterinarians should move away from the "one seize fits all approach". Modern cattle veterinary practice is about making life of farmers with regard to animal health easier. The costs and benefits of the offered programs become more important, although that is not the only decision criterium of the farmers. Slides are in Dutch
I was invited by a Dutch organization for farm advisors (Vereniging voor Agrarische Bedrijfsadviseurs; vab; www.vabnet.nl) to give a presentation as start for a discussion on improving the effectivity of farm advise by co-operation between advisors. The presentation contains a description of the main farm advisors and some cases where advises might deviate from eachother. In my opinion co-operatoin between farm advisors is necessary to improve the effectivity of advise. The farmer is the one that has to be in charge. However, not all farmers are able to do that (not yet at least), so there is room for support of these farmers.
De veterinaire dag was onderdeel van het eerste internationale congres over Precision Dairy Farming in het WTC in Leeuwarden. Deze dag was speciaal voor de Nederlands rundvee dierenarts die meer wilde weten over het gebruik van sensoren in de melkveehouderij. Deze presentatie gaat specifiek over het gebruik van uiergezondheidsattenties gegenereerd door melk robots.
Automatic milking and mastitis (in Dutch)Henk Hogeveen
Recently I gave a presentation for farmers using an Automatic milking system (AMS). With such a system, the human milker is replaced by a robot. This has consequences for mastitis management. These consequences have been described in this presentation
A variation of topics for farmer extension group Leusden-WoudenbergHenk Hogeveen
December 2012 I was invited to give a presentation for the farmers extension group Leusden-Woudenberg. These groups are organizations by and for farmers who organize excursions and meetings to learn. Quite interesting because my father used to be in the board of a precessor of this specific group. I still know a lot of the farmers in this group and I was more nervous for this presentaiton than for many others because of that.
The farmers asked me a quite large number of topics to present, so the presentation (in Dutch) offers a wide range of work we are involved with: optimization of mastitis therapy, drying off, grazing, shortened dry periods etc.
The Dutch Society for large ruminant veterinarians (VGH, say cattle vets), invited me on their lustrum conference to talk about the value of their services. This is a hot item for Dutch vets (and maybe for other vets as well).
The veterinarian profession is changing. From animal-based reactive work (an animal is ill and you have to see what it is and cure it) it becomes herd-based pro-active work. Getting paid for your advise (brains) instead of for your skills and drugs. This change gives insecurity: is our education good enough, do we know enough, are we able to compete with other advisors.
During the presentation I showed the costs of animal diseases (such as claw problems, mastitis), reduced fertility and poor young-stock raising, all fields where the vet can be of value for the farmer. So there is room for improvement, there is room for value creation, but that value need to be created by the vets. Vets have to take up the challenge. The coming change in milk payment system (end of the EU quota system in 2015) gives ample opportunity for the Dutch vet. Production disease become much more expensive. I showed that as well. So there is value in herd health: it needs to be created.
This document discusses whether technology pays for itself in dairy farming. It provides an overview of the history of sensor use on dairy farms since the 1970s and their increasing adoption. Success factors for precision technology include system specifications that provide useful information, cost efficiency where benefits outweigh costs, and non-economic factors like risk tolerance. Studies show sensor systems for mastitis and estrus detection can increase productivity and profitability on farms, though their benefits are not always fully realized in practice due to limited use of sensor information and farmer attitudes. In conclusion, sensors have the potential to improve farms economically and enhance dairy cattle welfare but not all systems may be cost-effective.
Animal health economics and precision farmingHenk Hogeveen
Last week I was at Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) in Indonesia. The goal was to do a field visit on the Avian Influenza project we have together with IPB, Wageningen University and Utrecht University.
I was invited at three groups to present something about my research: Animal health economics and precision farming. I have provided some generic background about animal health economics, but also gave some examples of work we did i normative modelling and empirical modelling and showed developments in the field that we call precision livestock farming. The presentation here, is the combination of all three presentation. So it contains a large number of slides.

Effect of sensor systems on production, health, reproduction and economic res...Henk Hogeveen
This study investigated the effects of sensor systems on Dutch dairy farms in terms of milk production, udder health, reproduction, and economics. Data was collected from 512 farms with and without sensors from 2003-2013. Farms with automatic milking systems (AMS) or cow management systems (CMS) that used sensors for mastitis and estrus detection were compared with farms without sensors. The results showed lower somatic cell counts on CMS farms after sensor investment, but higher counts on AMS farms. Sensor use did not improve reproduction performance. Capital costs increased for AMS farms after investment, but no effects on labor costs were observed. In conclusion, sensor investment was associated with improved udder health on CMS farms but not other measured outcomes.
I just gave a opening keynote on the North American Precision dairy farming conference. I showed some data that we recently collected on the use of sensor systems and the effects of these systems on farm performance.
Economic analysis for different levels of decision makingHenk Hogeveen
I was invited to give a keynote presentation for the German languaged Epidemiology meeting which was held last week in Zurich, Switzerland. My presentation gave an overview of the decision problem in animal health and gives some examples of economic analyses that have been made at different levels of decision making. Specific items were: dry cow therapy, Q fever and BSE
Associations between farmer participation in veterinary herd health programs ...Henk Hogeveen
As you might know from me already, veterinary herd health and management programs are an important part of the activities of production animal vets in the Netherlands. The final presentation I gave at the Livestock Production and Health group of the South African Veterinary Assocation in Skukuza was summarizing the PhD work of Marjolein Derks (who will defend her thesis on June 26). There are some interesting findings from this work.
The economics of an infectious disease outbreak: Using the European Q Fever e...Henk Hogeveen
The Q fever outbreak a number of years was quite devastating. Human health was affected and this lead to quite some stringent measures to guarantee the prevention of transmission from goats to humans. Maaike Gonggrijp, for her MSc work, made an interesting quantitative value chain analysis. For the Livestock Production and Health group of the South African Veterinary Assocation, I used that work to present in the small ruminant session.
Economic consequences of reproductive performance in dairy cattle Henk Hogeveen
This document summarizes the economic consequences of reproductive performance in dairy cattle. It finds that the optimal voluntary waiting period before starting inseminations varies depending on cow factors and economic considerations, but is generally less than 10 weeks for 90% of cows. The optimal time to stop inseminating cows is between 10-16 months postpartum based on models of declining conception probabilities over time. Accounting for factors like parity, months in milk, milk production level, and previous insemination attempts provides a more accurate assessment of when insemination value turns negative.
New developments in the Dutch dairy sectorHenk Hogeveen
This was the opening presentation I gave at the 2014 Congress of the LIvestock Health and Production Group of the South African Veterinary Association. The organization asked me to give an overview of recent developments in the Dutch dairy sector. i have chose to pick three developments that are, in my opinion, interesting for veterinarians: 1. the ongoing automation of the sector, 2. the abolisment of the quota system (and a little background) and 3. the reduced use of antibiotics.
Economics of animal health: A little theory and some applicationsHenk Hogeveen
At the moment I am in Kenya, at a site visit of Dr Esther Wafula, who is doing a PhD with us in Utrecht. Today I gave a presentation at KARI, the Kenyan Agricultural Research Institute. This is a huge institute, consisting of more than 3000 people. People responsible for animal health work both from KARI as well as the University of Nairobi were present.
The presentation has quite some overlap with the one I gave last year in Kupang. However, I added some new figures about the complexity of management as well as the first research results of Dr Wafula: costs of trypanosomosis.
Balancing antibiotic treatment with regard to mastitisHenk Hogeveen
These are the sildes of a presentation I gave at the NMC Annual Meeting, held in Fort Worth Texas on January 27, 2014. I was asked to tell something on the economics of mastitis treatment. I broadened that to balancing. Economics is about optimization, but nowadays in antibiotic treatment in animals factors such as animal welfare and a reduction in the use of antibiotics play also a role. The farmer and the veterinary advisor have to balance this. The presentation aims at setting up spreadsheet to support decision making
This is the second presentation I was invited to give at the CAVI conference held in Galway, Ireland on October 12. it deals with precision dairy farming. A field that is coming up and growing in importance in modern dairy farming
These are the slides of a presentation I was invited to give at the Cattle Association of Veterinary Ireland (CAVI) at their annual conference, held in Galway, Ireland. The presentation deals with economics of production diseases.
Precision dairy farming: how to make it work on the farmHenk Hogeveen
Today I will give a wrap-up presentation at the 2nd North American Precision Dairy Farming Conference, held in Rochester MN, and excelently organized by the University of Minnesota (under leadership or Marcia Endres).
In this presentation I provide the factors that are crucial for a proper pick-up of precision dairy farming applications and I link them to examples of succesful and less successful attempts.
Consequences of farmers' interpretation of mastitis alerts in automatic milkingHenk Hogeveen
These are the slides that I used to present research work of Klaske Buma (at that time student Veterinary Medicine at Utrecht University). Klaske has collected data on 7 Dutch farms that used an automatic milking system. She followed the farmers in their interpretation of mastitis alerts. The farmers behaviuor and the consequences of that behaviour are presented
A presentation (in Dutch) I gave for the expert meeting that the KNMvD (Royal Dutch Veterinary Association) group on Bovine health, held on January 22, 2013. I presented some recent data on costs of young stock raising, variation between farmers and those areas in young stock raising where most opportunities are lying to improve.
Economic side of veterinary work: practical applicationsHenk Hogeveen
This is the second invited presentation I gave in Bangkok at the 38th ICVS. It provides a number of examples of economic calculations to support veterinary decisions at various levels.
The economic side of veterinary work: theoretical considerationsHenk Hogeveen
This is an invited presentation I gave in Bangkok at the 38th ICVS meeting. It provides a bit of the economic theory behind animal health economics and gives reasons why economics are important for the veterinary profession
2012 11-27 de laval economics automatic milkingHenk Hogeveen
This document discusses the economic considerations of investing in automatic milking systems on dairy farms. It reviews several studies that have examined the costs and benefits of automatic milking systems compared to conventional milking systems. The studies show that automatic milking systems can reduce labor needs by 10-70% and increase milk production by 2-15%, but they also involve higher investment and maintenance costs. More recent data from over 30 Dutch farms found little difference in margins between farms using automatic versus conventional milking after controlling for farm size and intensity.
