Protrack Vector
 Protrack Vector is suitable for all dairy types and will deliver the user an Intelligent Drafting system. A single touch screen in the dairy provides you with access to all your animal and herd information. Actions can be recorded as they happen.
Event Recording
Hot keys (or Quick Keys) will give you the ability to record an event such as a “Heat” or “Draft” at the touch of a button. With a single keystroke, Protrack will record data accurately, time and time again.
Treatment Recording
You need only record treatments once. Treatments will be automatically recorded in MINDApro, and you will have one single database of treatments.
Calvings
Record calvings in Protrack and MINDApro will be automatically updated.
Dry Off
Record animals as ‘dried off’ in Protrack and draft her out of the main herd. By recording a cow’s calving date and instructing Protrack to draft cows off after a set number of days in milk, you can more selectively dry off your cows to optimise production and cow condition.
Heats
Accurate and timely recording of heats in Protrack, plus Protrack’s ability to draft cows off once they are in heat, makes Protrack a powerful tool to use during AB. Eventually, Protrack will also be able to automatically ‘read’ heat-detecting devices, and draft those cows out for mating.
Pregnancy
Record cows as pregnant in Protrack and this information will be recorded immediately in MINDApro.
Liveweights
Protrack can connect to both Gallagher and Tru-Test Walk-over-weighing systems. Regular review of animal weigh data will assist you to make improved decisions around breeding and culling that could provide you with significant savings.
Condition score
Record, draft and feed on the basis of a cow’s condition score.
The power that MINDApro delivers
 The partnership of Protrack and MINDApro give you a very powerful set of tools.
Protrack gives you access to your MINDApro herd information in the dairy. It then assists you by using that information to intelligently automate common milking tasks.
In addition, you have reliable cow information at your fingertips, enabling you to make informed management decisions for each cow.
Important cow!
Every cow is important – your cows will not get lost in the crowd, because Protrack will tell you if a cow needs attention during the milking routine. You can ask Protrack to alert you if a selected animal (or an animal matching your specified criteria) enters the dairy. The alert will be displayed on a monitor and spoken aloud.
View the history of any cow at any time.
Protrack’s connection to MINDApro allows you to view all your MINDA information on any cow in the dairy at the touch of a button.
At your fingertips…
On-the-spot decision-making during the milking is now possible with all your MINDA information at your finger tips. Want to know when you last treated this cow? Has she been mated?
Drafting has never been this easy…
… or this accurate… or this clever. You can rely on Protrack to draft cows accurately time and time again. You simply decide, at any time before or during the milking, the cows you want drafted, and Protrack will do the drafting job. Create a draft schedule for one or more cows in MINDApro, or have Protrack intelligently decide which cows you want to draft (according to the criteria you have selected). You can even give it further instructions about a cow while you are milking her, and it will draft her out as she exits the dairy.
Record once and it’s done.
Each milking is the main interaction you have with your cows. Protrack allows you to quickly record events for e.g. health treatments, pregnancy diagnoses and pre-mating heats, as they happen in the dairy. The combined intelligence of MINDApro and Protrack enables you to make better decisions. It’s a winning combination for your business.
Make smart decisions…
… and make them smartly. Instant information allows you to make the best decisions without delay.
 Get the full value out of drafting animals
Protrack comes with an automated three-way drafting system. It provides you with intelligent drafting solutions for your farm to make drafting easy and accurate. Drafting can be carried out either via pre-selected criteria in MINDApro, e.g. draft out my group of high SCC cows, or reactively in the shed with the use of a touch screen.
Drafting out cows in MINDApro
MINDApro has the power to instruct Protrack to draft cows out using certain criteria. For example:
- Draft all my high somatic cell count cows to the right
- Draft all my two-year-olds for drying off
- Create feeding groups of cows for different pastures
- Draft all my colostrum cows
- Milk my OAD and TAD cows together, but draft them into separate herds after the milking
- Draft all my lower production cows for disposal as budget cows
- Set PW criteria in MINDApro to draft cows to be culled
Drafting cows out through a touch screen
Protrack also has the power to draft cows out at your request during the milking. No need fora mouse or keyboard - simply touch the Protrack screen and you can draft cows on demand.
- Perhaps you have noticed a cow is lame
- Perhaps you want to treat certain cows whilst the vet is on-farm
