Average daily gain on Reap farms

These are averages across all the cattle Reap has monitored, by weight band. They come from real farms, so use them as a guide, not a target. Choose "Use these figures" to fill in daily gain.

Weight	Average daily gain (kg)	Fill in

Where to find your own numbers

Price: use your latest merchant invoice or quote. For home-grown feed, use its value or what it costs you to produce. If you buy it bagged, choose the bag size.
Amount fed: weigh what you feed over a few days and divide by the number of animals. For silage, weigh what goes out and what is left.
Daily gain: take the weight now, subtract the weight at the start, and divide by the days between. If you have not weighed, use a guide figure.
Days on feed: count from the day you start feeding to the day you plan to sell.
If you know dry matter (DM): divide the DM kg by the DM percentage to get fresh weight. For example, 8 kg DM at 30% DM is about 27 kg fresh.

Typical feeding by stage

These are Teagasc targets for calves in Irish systems. Choose "Use these figures" to fill in daily gain and feed amounts, then add your prices and any other feed you give.

Stage	Daily gain (kg)	Milk replacer powder (kg per calf per day)	Calf starter (kg per calf per day)	Fill in

Guide figures only. They are targets, not what your calves will necessarily achieve. Where Teagasc gives a range, the button fills in the middle of it. Weaning depends on starter intake and weight, not age: Teagasc says calves should eat more than 1 kg of starter a day for three days in a row before liquid feed stops. Teagasc's example uses about 25 kg of milk replacer and 120 kg of concentrates per calf up to 12 weeks. Sources: Teagasc, calf rearing: getting the basics right and nutritional management of the dairy-beef calf.

Where to find your own numbers

Price: use your invoice. For bagged milk replacer, choose the bag size and we convert the price per bag.
Milk replacer amount: if you know the litres of made-up milk, multiply by 0.125 to get kg of powder at the usual 125 g per litre. Six litres is 0.75 kg.
Daily gain: take the weight now, subtract the weight at birth or arrival, and divide by the days between.
Days on feed: count from birth or arrival to the day liquid feed stops. Teagasc's targets run to 12 weeks.

Revolutionised our farm operations

"It's a game-changer for efficiency and profitability. Our feed usage is optimised, animals are healthier, and we're seeing remarkable improvements in weight gain."

Edna Curley - Principle, Mountbellew Agricultural College

Aligned our farming practices with our goals

"It's reassuring to know our efforts are contributing positively while also improving our bottom line through more efficient resource use."

Richard Kennedy - Suckler to Beef

Became a cornerstone of our welfare practices

"This technology has not only enhanced the wellbeing of our herd but also driven down the age at slaughter, boosting our farm's profitability sustainably."

Niall Kenny - Beef Finisher

Turning potential losses into measurable gains

"Relying on herd averages lets profitability slip through the cracks. BovinePlus identifies the uniqueness of each animal, allowing us to make informed, tailored, management decisions."

Eric Reid - Beef Finisher

Not sure where to start?

Our farmers start with Plus. Calf farmers go straight to Junior. Not sure, just get in touch and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Does Reap require any changes to my animals or how I manage them?

Nope! Reap works passively as cattle go about their normal day. Nothing is attached to the animal and nothing changes about how you run your farm.

How many animals can one unit cover?

Bovine Plus and Bovine Grade each cover up to 60 animals per unit. Bovine Junior covers up to 75 calves. Additional units can be installed across larger pens or multiple groups.

What happens if something goes wrong with the system?

In our experience issues are rare but if something ever does not look right, you can pick up the phone and we are there. Our team handles everything from first call to fix.

Does it work without WiFi?

Farms are not always in the most connected corners of the country and we know that better than anyone! Reap runs on its own mobile network so no WiFi is needed, and solar power for outdoor setups means no cables and no mains required. Wherever your farm is, Reap works.
