Improve cow health and production with our dental device
If a cow can’t chew properly, it wastes food and loses nutrients. This could lead to decreased production, potential infertility, and weight loss. And if this is happening throughout a farm, overall animal health will be low and financial losses could be significant.
To date, cow dental health is not monitored in the UK. Vets routinely carry out dental inspections on other animals, such as horses and family pets, but there is no safe and easy way to check a cow’s mouth.
Ovation Agriculture is developing a new product to solve this issue. Our dental gag will hold the cow’s mouth in the correct position to provide stability, safety and access to allow examinations and treatments.
The product is in its early stages of development and is being supported by: The CENSIS Milk Round Technology Accelerator part of the: Digital Dairy Chain.
