It’s all about Proactive Decisions

eCOGENT helps you do the right thing at the right time. As well as seeing better production and more profit, members typically save thousands on fertiliser programmes and animal health bills. We take the guesswork out of:

Fertiliser Programmes
eCOGENT has been able to develop management programmes to deliver high quality pastures, optimal production and increasing levels of soil carbon. SoilPoint links New Zealand farmers with world renowned Kinsey Agservices soil testing service to deliver specialized  fertiliser recommendations. Based in the United States, Kinsey Agservices provides services to 70 countries.

More Quality Grass
eCOGENT has discovered the benefits of using the Brix levels of pastures to improve feeding levels in all classes of livestock.  Our members are using this simple tool to increase meat and milk production on a daily basis.

Condition Score
Members have increased the body condition score on all classes of breeding animals to achieve higher profitability figures. This has been achieved even during periods of summer droughts and feed pinches through winter and spring.

Animal health
Members have reduced animal health costs and seen benefits such as reduced parasite levels, bloat, metabolic diseases, facial eczema and lowered empty cow rates.

Stocking Rates
Using eCOGENT‘s profitability tools, members are continuing to adjust stocking rates to obtain the most profitable lambing / calving dates, weaning dates and drying off dates.
