Performance observed across research and commercial farm settings
Evidence is organised by strength — controlled research, monitored commercial farms and broader field experience — and reported separately.
Monitored Commercial Farms
Monitored Commercial Farms
10 dairy farms · 6-month field dataset
Farm-level performance was monitored across 10 commercial dairy farms over a six-month period, allowing before-and-after comparison of key production and herd indicators. This is commercial monitoring data — not a controlled research trial — reported separately from BIOSMART’s controlled research programme.

SCC is reported as a monitored milk-quality and herd-health indicator, not as a disease-prevention or treatment outcome.
Additional Monitored Herd Indicators
Aggregated across the monitored dataset (not reported farm-by-farm).
Open Days
147 → 132 days
Change: −15 days.
Rumination
33.7% → 40.7%
Change: +7 percentage points.
Clinical Mastitis Incidence
34.7 → 30.1
Cases / 100 cows / year. Clinical mastitis incidence recorded in the monitored dataset — observed change −13%.
Milk composition (dataset average): fat 3.98% → 3.88%; protein 3.36% → 3.45%. Reported as observed compositional data, not presented as a targeted improvement.
Dataset applies to dairy cattle under monitored commercial conditions and is not a controlled research trial. Results vary by farm, ration, genetics, management and production stage, and are not extrapolated to beef cattle, sheep & goats, buffalo or BIOSMARTAVI poultry research.
