eDHI
Milk recording for automated systems and on-farm technologies
As automated milking systems and the use of integrated sensors continues to grow, Lactanet’s eDHI service is ideal for farms that do not wish to participate in routine milk recording with the collection of milk samples.
With eDHI, we can remotely collect herd information from your automated system, as well as access data from your provincial milk board to validate milk volumes and herd components. Lactanet can then provide reports that complement the output from your on-farm automated system, as well as have many additional benefits that are important to producers.
eDHI is an attractive option if your team is simply comfortable with the analysis of tried and true Lactanet reporting that is vital for tracking and directing long-term success – at a reduced cost compared with supervised milk recording.

How does eDHI work?
Using secure remote access, milking data is electronically collected from your on-farm automated system. Although robotic and other milking systems offer great information, milk recording remains an important part of the puzzle to build on your ROI and support herd management decisions. eDHI is a valuable tool to help you identify and focus on the most productive animals to move your herd and the Canadian dairy industry forward.
