Turn everyday cow movement into reliable herd management insights
Lameness is a common issue on dairy farms with far-reaching consequences, including increased veterinary costs, reduced milk production and decreased animal welfare. Hoof diseases and associated lameness are the third most common cause of premature culling of dairy cows, making them a significant financial risk factor for farms.
Using CattleEye allows you to take countermeasures at an early stage. Powered by advanced artificial intelligence, the system monitors both Locomotion and Body Condition Score (BCS).
By analyzing video footage captured by a camera, CattleEye identifies cows needing hoof trimming and treatment, helping manage lameness levels effectively. Additionally, tracking BCS provides insights into each cow’s nutritional needs, which enables timely feed adjustments, supports grouping decisions and helps improve transition management.
This dual functionality improves herd health, performance, and overall animal welfare while reducing the carbon footprint, supporting next-generation farming.

Experience the Product on Farm
"CattleEye helped us to recognise cows earlier that require special attention because lame cows are usally lying in the cubicle, especially when I am in the barn."

Integrated into DairyNet – insights exactly where decisions are made
CattleEye data is now seamlessly integrated into DairyNet, giving you a unified view of your herd’s mobility, body condition and performance.
This integration turns objective camera-based insights into clear, actionable information directly within your herd management platform.
Individual Cow-Level Insights at a Glance
You can easily access each cow’s Mobility Scores and BCS results alongside historical trends.
A video clip of each cow passing under the camera provides visual context, while a graph shows the development of mobility and BCS over a specific, individually adjustable time span.
Key indicators such as the latest BCS, Mobility Score, DIM and lactation number give you a clear overview of each cow’s current status.

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
