Connor Eatwell's Company Details
We have been partnering with dairy farmers for over 12 years helping them with labour efficiencies and helping them reduce the risk of mastitis. Since 2008, we have made it our mission to provide practical solutions for dairy farmers to help win the war against Mastitis. The Teatwand Automatic Teat Spraying System was born from necessity, a partnership between New Zealand's leading mastitis consultant Dr Adrian Joe and Gary Arnott, an Automation Engineer (and now the company CEO). Onfarm Solutions was formed to address the problems associated with poor teat spray coverage associated with existing automated teat spraying systems on the market at the time.Using Dr Joes expertise in the mastitis field the idea of the Teatwand design was to mimic the "action of a person's hand". The system had to be robust, reliable and most of all deliver teat spray to all four teats consistently no matter how many cows were milked on the platform per day. We carefully observed what the best application practices were. As a result of these learnings, we developed the first successful automated teat sprayer.The Teatwand system was designed to be ingeniously simple, smart and accurate. Dairymen who have our systems consider them a vital part of their management practices in the control of Mastitis. The Teatwand systems successfully achieve consistent teat spray coverage of all four teats automatically with no human intervention.This revolutionary and innovative idea resulted in rapid growth with dairy farmers in New Zealand and North America, as the Teatwand was well suited to solving the growing challenges of labour costs, teat spray application and regulation.From our very first installs in 2008, we have been partnering with dairy farmers in New Zealand, Australia, United States, Canada, Holland, Argentina,Spain, Hungary, Denmark,Italy,South Africa,China,Thailand,Israel, Russia, Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales. Over 1000 Teatwand systems have been installed worldwide.
