2 SUMMARY INTRODUCTION: AGRAMA AND MANCHEGA DAIRY SHEEP I- TECHNOLOGY OF ELECTRONIC IDENTIFICATION (e-id) II- COMPUTING TOOLS DEVELOPPED IN THE LAST 10 YEARS BY AGRAMA III- RESULTS OBTAINED AFTER 10 YEARS OF e-id IN AGRAMA CONCLUSION
3 INTRODUCTION
4 AGRAMA AND MANCHEGA DAIRY SHEEP AGRAMA: =Manchega Sheep Breeders National Association Since 1964 Manchega sheep flock-book mother breeds DOQM(Regulation Council of PDO Manchego Cheese): 13-15% Manchega farmers, 25-28% mother breeds, 40-50% Manchega milk production Principal activities (2008): -AI (35 764) -Milk recordings ( initiated) -Electronic identification (38 332) -Genotyping (40 739) MANCHEGA SHEEP: >95% exploited in Castilla-La Mancha Mother breed census: Main production: Milk : 48 millions litres/ year (DOQM-;2008) ( Manchega ewes, 1028 farms) Castilla y León: Madrid Castilla-La Mancha Destination: PDO (protected designation of origin) Manchego cheese: 8800Tm (45% whole spanish PDO (protected designation of origin) cheese market/ 90 millions of euros) Meat: PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) lamb
5 I-TECHNOLOGY OF ELECTRONIC IDENTIFICATION (e-id)
6 DEVELOPMENT OF THE ELECTRONIC IDENTIFICATION OF MANCHEGA DAIRY SHEEP IN AGRAMA -First use of the e-id: 1999 I.D.E.A. project (AGRAMA: ) Collaboration in e-id research development projects : 2002 Introduction of the e-id for the National Scrapie program: 2003 Flock-book official ID: 2004 Technology: ELECTRONIC BOLUS
7 ELECTRONIC IDENTIFICATION OF MANCHEGA DAIRY SHEEP: HOW DOES IT WORK? Electronic bolus (transponder): placed into the body of the sheep (reticulum) (10kg; 35-40kg) E-ID Reader Unit (transceiver): reads the number on the bolus (Radio-frecuency)
8 ELECTRONIC IDENTIFICATION OF MANCHEGA DAIRY SHEEP: DATA READING AND PROCESSING Once the reader receives the number: Associates it immediately with an information: loaded-up beforehand and/or written on site (ex. Liters of milk) Stores it in memory Sends it to another storage device computer or pda.
9 II-COMPUTING TOOLS DEVELOPPED IN THE LAST 10 YEARS BY AGRAMA
10 COMPUTING TOOLS: A NECESSITY 1. e-id = automatization 2. great number of activities : performance recording: milk recording, registration, artificial insemination, morphological evaluation management purposes: farm inventory, lambing recording, scrapie genotyping, health programs Each activity needs 1. Data capture (transceiver) 2. Data computerization (Data purification, analysis and updating) 3. Data processing Animal and / or lots consultation, genetic index, production, genealogy a great cuantity of information Different levels of information management (AGRAMA s main office, veterinarians, technicians and breeders)
11 STATIC Reading DYNAMIC Reading Software Hardware Portable Readers PDA IDETEC and Pocket IDETEC (Downloading and Processing Data) GenConsultas AGRAMA Smart Client Dynamic Reading Unit AGRAMANGA Milking Room Automatic Measurement Milking Room System Sheep Separate Door Alpro System Processor - Alpro Windows - Alpro Sync - Alpro Generator (AGRAMA s Plugin)
12 III-RESULTS OBTAINED AFTER 10 YEARS OF ELECTRONIC IDENTIFICATION IN AGRAMA
13 IMPLEMENTATION RESULTS Work and time reduction Milk recording: Loss of production in (3-5%)- traditional system -Improving time of milking: 25-30% (* 40-50%-Tattoo) -Separation of control batches not required -Data processing: -Before: samples / hour - Now: immediate Inventory (search for animals, etc...): -Before: 400 sheep / 6 hours / 2 people -Now: 400 sheep / 20 minutes Lambing data acquisition Instant information (reposition, sacrifice, etc...) -Before: note-book, transfer, processing, Excel. -Now: immediate-automated
14 IMPLEMENTATION RESULTS sheep bolused (since 1999) Nowadays AGRAMA works with 300 transceivers distributed among veterinarians, technicians and breeders data errors insignificant EASY / PRACTICAL / FAST / RELIABLE Automatization Data management Cost of e-id is estimated <2% milk yield
15 TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT AND GENETIC IMPROVEMENT (AGRAMA) Flock-book Milk recording initiated Milk recording ended Artificial insemination Morphological udder evaluation
16 PROFITABILITY IMPROVEMENT TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT ECONOMICAL MANAGEMENT CONTROL ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE
17 CONCLUSION Electronic identification is today an irreplaceable tool for performance recording and data management in the Manchega dairy sheep
