Elanco is a leading animal health company and is now promoting the use of DDW’s Predicta Ketorisk tool. Predicta KetoRisk automatically alerts farmers and veterinarians or other advisers, via SMS, email and / or WhatsApp, when cows are identified as at risk for ketosis, three to four weeks before calving. For Dr Juan Cainzos, global technical marketing manager cattle for Elanco, PREDICTA Ketorisk from Dairy Data Warehouse "is a game-changer in the management of cows at risk for clinical or subclinical ketosis.” He states, that “the tests currently available allow to confirm the presence of ketosis in a cow, something really useful to evaluate cow’s transition and energy management. However, from a cow’s perspective it is too late, because most important detrimental consequences - higher risk for other diseases and culling, as well as lower repro and milk performance- already happened. Having information provided by Predicta Ketorisk will help the industry to prevent and mitigate the ketosis impact.”

Result: Farmers and consultants can act fast to head off economic losses due to Ketosis.
