Skanesemin’s TopCow services take consultant and farmer cooperation to a new level

 Skanesemin is a cooperative based in southern Sweden. It provides milk recording services as well as advice and services around animal fertility and animal health to its members which are dairy and beef producers.


The organisation decided to fully revamp its IT infrastructure to support its growing portfolio of services and to transition successfully into the next phase of their digital journey. Skanesemin was looking for a solution that connects their consultants and their farmers in one system providing clear and actionable information to improve cooperation and productivity.

With the TopCow system developed by DDW,  Skanesemin was able to fully outsource the execution of their data and information strategy. TopCow services use DDW’s powerful dairy data platform to ensure data flow and data quality as well as to benefit of its AI tools.


Powered by DDW technology, TopCow meets the reporting requirements of the Swedish Board of Agriculture and automatically updates the Board’s animal database. Top Cow works with all types of dairy farm management software and provides up to date data on animal health and productivity.


Skanesemin’s CEO Christoffer Isenstråle concludes that “DDW’s work with Skanesemin gives our organisation better information for improving the health and performance of the dairy herds of our members and cuts down the time needed to manage herd information.  The benefits fit in perfectly with Skanesemin’s commitment to providing “services and advice and develop production for our members so that their operations become simpler, more fun and increase profitability”.


Result: Improved information for farmers on herd health and reduced time on reporting data.
