UK Politician Alistair Carmichael Praises "Positive Spirit" of NZ Farmers
A leading British farming politician says he's impressed with the positive attitude of New Zealand farmers that he met during his recent trip here.
GEA Farm Technologies and SenseHub Dairy, powered by MSD Animal Health, are working together to deliver smarter, more connected solutions for New Zealand dairy farmers.
This collaboration brings together GEA’s expertise in milking systems and automation with SenseHub Dairy’s advanced animal monitoring and milk sensor technology.
Combining Milking Expertise and Animal Monitoring Technology
By aligning their capabilities, the two companies are providing farmers with comprehensive on-farm solutions to support better decision-making, improved animal health, and increased on-farm efficiency.
A key focus is ensuring that monitoring tools, milk sensors, and somatic cell count technology integrate seamlessly into existing or new milking systems.
This enables farmers to access reliable daily data, allowing for earlier detection of issues and more proactive herd management.
Supporting Better Herd Health and Farm Performance
The collaboration is supported by each company’s trusted dealer network, who provide on-the-ground service and support for both GEA and SenseHub Dairy technologies, ensuring farmers receive consistent, high-quality service alongside innovative solutions.
“By combining proven technologies and practical expertise, GEA and SenseHub Dairy are helping farmers build healthier herds and drive long-term productivity,” says Allflex/SenseHub dairy business unit lead, Austin Heffernan.
