Tip of the Month – October 2017

Cleaning VMS “Eyes”.

The Visolux camera in the VMS monitors when a cow arrives in the system. This camera can get dirty quite quickly. Also, in the Smartgates (Selectionport), a camera is keeping track of which cow arrives in the system. (It is hidden in the most recent version of Smartgate.)

The new Body Condition Score (BCS) camera can deliver abundant and explicit information, but only if it has a good field of vision.

To keep the camera’s clean, wipe them regularly down with a damp rag.

Side note: use degreasing supplies.
