Nedap NZ launch

Written by  Staff Reporters

Livestock management tech company Nedap has launched Nedap New Zealand.

Established 1929 in the Netherlands, Nedap has a long history of innovation in livestock management technology.

The company says it operates in the New Zealand market with local business partners that offer cow collars, sort gates, and cloud software powered by Nedap’s cutting-edge technology.

This expansion strengthens Nedap’s commitment to the New Zealand dairy sector, it says.

Nedap says New Zealand is a global leader in dairy production and that the adoption of advanced technology is crucial for maintaining this leadership position.

Nedap New Zealand and its partners are poised to be pivotal in supporting this industry transformation, it says.

Currently, around 18% of New Zealand farms are utilising wearable technology. However, the adoption rate is expected to rise significantly in the coming years.

Nedap’s solutions provide real-time insights into cow health, reproduction, and farm operations. They enable farmers, vets, and rural professionals to make informed decisions that enhance productivity and animal welfare. Nedap says its collar technology is crucial for seasonal calving systems, ensuring successful mating and farm efficiency.
