Hoof trimmers, I'd like your input on this. I'm looking at a possible new option for All4Feet and the All4Cows phone app. After a visit, All4Feet could help create a short, personal feedback message for the farmer based on what you've already recorded.
That message would show up in the farmer's All4Cows phone app and feel like a personal update from you. For example,
'Thanks for today. We checked 82 cows, removed two blocks, applied three bandages. Most cows treated last time are improving well. There's still some DD showing in group 2, so that group may need keeping an eye on. Cow426 is still a concern as she is not responding as expected after several visits. Cow 1453 has an eye problem. More detailed notes, photos, and reminders are available in the All4Cows app. Thanks, βtrimmer name.β
The aim is to help farmers see the value of what you record, highlight what really matters most, and give them useful feedback short notes after visits without adding to your workload.
1. Would you want this option?
2. Should it feel personal?
3. Option to add to the text a personal report on the day when finished trimming.
4. Highlight improving and problem cows.
5. Pick up your personal comments on cows.
6. Highlight group issues like DD in a certain group.
6. Would this help farmers understand the value of the app and use more?
Please add any extra thoughts in the comments below.
