NMC webinar addresses ‘Leveraging Milk Monitoring and Parlor Performance Information to Boost Employee Compliance’

Join the National Mastitis Council (NMC) for its next webinar – Leveraging Milk Monitoring and Parlor Performance Information to Boost Employee Compliance – on Dec. 4, presented by Curtis Horsens, Merck Animal Health. The free, one-hour webinar starts at 2 p.m. Central time (USA/Canada). 

With trustworthy identification and milk yield measurement, dairy farm managers can use milk harvest information to monitor the performance of their milking technicians. This webinar, sponsored by Merck Animal Health, will showcase opportunities to use information gathered during the milk harvesting process to understand the workflow of the farm staff, cow milkability and efficiency of the milking parlor. Many people play a role in the milking process and this webinar will inspire attendees on how to use objective insights to coach employees and improve the milking experience of each cow at each shift.

He is responsible for developing the knowledge and skills of the Merck Animal Health Cattle team and their SenseHub dealers and distributors.
