A DISTINCTIVE METRIX MEASURE

Metrix Value.
The bigger picture, cow by cow.

A single production figure cannot tell the whole story. Metrix Value gives you another perspective on an animal’s place in your herd.

Starting example

How the illustration changes with days in milk Selected day
Illustrative value across days in milkA simplified demonstration curve. It shows how this example responds to days in milk at the selected milk yield, reproductive status and lactation. It is not a prediction or an actual Metrix valuation.

An open cow in her second lactation, producing 32 litres a day at 150 days in milk.

For exploring the idea only. The real Metrix Value model uses herd records and settings to support a more complete review.

TRY A SCENARIO
01

Look ahead.

Bring an economic perspective to decisions about a cow’s future, rather than relying only on what she produced yesterday.

02

Focus your attention.

Identify animals that deserve a closer review. Use the measure to support conversations about keeping, breeding and replacement.

03

Keep the context.

Consider the individual cow alongside your herd’s priorities, your records and the practical knowledge of the people working with her.

INSIGHT YOU CAN PUT TO WORK

A starting point.
For a better conversation.

Metrix Value is a proprietary part of Metrix’s approach to cow-level decision support. It brings relevant herd and animal information together into a useful economic view, with guidance to help you interpret the result.

Use it to prioritise a review, compare the choices in front of you and look beyond a simple production ranking. It supports your judgement; it does not make the farm decision for you.

Values are modelled estimates and depend on the records and herd settings used.

BUILT INTO METRIX

Clarity.
With context.

Your herd. Your next decision.
