With the world’s population growing and prosperity increasing, sustainable milk production is more important than ever. At the same time, rules and regulations get stricter while raw materials, labor and energy become more expensive. With all this in mind, sustainability and productivity is clearly the key to success for all dairy farmers. That’s why back in 2004, when Gerard Griffioen (founder of CowManager and dairyman himself) visited a dairy farm in Wisconsin (US), saw them improvising to get a grip on the yield of their livestock, he decided to intervene and invented CowManager.

Everything CowManager does is focused on the dairymen’s needs. CowManager is continuously in development to serve modern dairymen that need innovative solutions and insights to beat the challenges they are faced with. CowManager has revolutionized the world of cow management systems with groundbreaking innovations and has invented the active ear tag technology. Our product is based on years of knowledge, research at universities and test farms and the overall drive to improve every day.
