Welcome to MISTRO Farm 5 and MISTRO Lite!

 

MISTRO Farm 5 and MISTRO Lite are easy-to-use dairy farm recording systems that enables you to keep track of herd, feed, health, irrigation, and farm management records. The programs have been specially designed for use by dairyfarmers.  It’s a system that you can use in several ways on your farm to help with a range of tasks from managing calving to documenting your antibiotic and other animal treatments.

 

 

MISTRO Lite is a “cut down” version of the full MISTRO Farm 5 program and is perfect for data entry and limited reporting,

 

Here are some of the tasks that MISTRO Farm 5 and MISTRO Lite can help you with.  The entries in bold type are the ones which are available in both MISTRO Farm 5 and MISTRO Lite:

 

Farm management

·         Maintain records of when paddocks are grazed to identify your best and poorest paddocks.

·         Calculate and monitor water use efficiency on irrigated farms so that you can make the most of this valuable resource.

·         Record when paddocks are treated with chemicals to provide your farm with its own quality assurance program.

·         Track fertiliser applications at a farm or paddock level so that you can maximise pasture growth.

 

Herd production and supplementary feeding.

·         Record and monitor factory milk production so that you can compare performance between seasons.

·         Document what is fed to all classes of stock so you can keep track of where your supplementary feed is going.

·         Calculate the dry matter consumption of supplementary feed for different stock classes at different times so you can improve your supplementary feeding decisions.

 

Animal records

·         Track all mating, health, and production information for individual cows.

·         Generate custom-made lists of cows to assist at calving, mating, culling, and drying- off. Get the information you need quickly and easily at these important times of the year.

·         Transfer data electronically to and from your herd test centre to avoid duplication of data entry.

·         Obtain full access to your herd recording information for analysis on your own computer so that you can clearly identify your best and worst performing cows.
