The herd’s reproductive output — live calves reared against the cows eligible to breed. It rolls conception, pregnancy losses and calf survival into a single number, and supplies your replacement heifers.
Australian herds typically rear 80–90% of eligible cows as calves; the gap is lost to empties, abortions and calf mortality.
Dairy Australia · InCalf ↗Tracking the eligible → in-calf → calved → reared chain separates a conception problem from abortion or calf-loss, so you target the real leak instead of guessing.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Vaccinate and manage cows to prevent abortion storms (e.g. lepto, pestivirus).
Run a clean, supervised calving pad to cut stillbirths and calf scours.
Feed springers correctly to avoid milk fever and downer cows at calving.
