Hachaklait: Hachaklait is een co-operatie van melkveehouders, met ongeveer 45 rundveedierenartsen in dienst. 85% van de Israelische melkveebedrijven zijn klant. Elk bedrijf wordt 2-3x per week bezocht. Deze dierenartsen zijn zeer gericht op preventief management en “pre-emptive decision making”, dus vooruit denken. Zij verzamelen zeer veel data –wat niet zo bijzonder isen –wat wel bijzonder is- zij analyseren en gebruiken deze data heel efficiënt en effectief. Israël heeft wereldwijd de hoogste melkproductie per koe. Meer info over Hackaklait: http://www.hachaklait.org.il/english.asp Conclusie: Wij hebben er veel zin in. Jij ook? Tot ziens, drs.

== Toelichting door Michael van Straten== Our HH program has a very practical, straightforward approach. It was not imposed on our herds by some university. Nevertheless, we use state of the art statistical and epidemiological tools for analyzing farm data. Before "delivering" our report and advice to the farmer, we as professionals must fully understand the meaning of terms and expressions we use, otherwise we can make serious mistakes. Furthermore, basic hands-‐on work with farm data is possibly the only way a non or intermediate experienced practitioner can get the feeling and appreciate the full meaning of what we will be discussing during the workshop. This all means that a fine balance must be achieved between the following during the workshop: basic knowledge, technical skills and practicality and implementation. After a lot of experience and analysis of in-‐depth evaluations from previous participants we believe we have the right balance. I personally believe it would be wrong to "strip" the workshop from everything that is not a direct "deliverable". On the other hand, it is extremely important to harmonize expectations with the participants: we are offering an intensive workshop on HH according to our system and NOT a professional excursion to Israel. We expect our participants to be interested in the "guts" of HH programs and to be interested in making good sense of farm data in their own countries. Tot ziens/see you, Dr. Michael van Straten, D.V.M., PhD.
