WHISPER® ON ARRIVAL, a breakthrough technology that predicts which feedyard animals will benefit from treatment on arrival for the control of bovine respiratory disease was introduced this week by Merck Animal Health and Allflex Livestock Intelligence. Made with a new sound collection device and a predictive algorithm, the system shows how smart technology is helping livestock operations.
Based on individual animal examination, the algorithm calculates each animal’s risk of developing BRD and provides a “treat” or “no treat” outcome.
