Prohibited!
Do not use inadequate parts or
consumables.
Using products which do not meet
specified requirements, for example
spare parts or consumables, or not
appropriately trained personnel for
the DeLaval product may lead to
risks or damage. Consequently it
may also void or limit the warranty.
Caution!
Falling hazard
Ensure that the ladder is properly
secured when working at a consid-
erable height.
Warning!
Do not use spray cans containing
insecticides around the milking sta-
tion. This will damage the parts that
are made of plastic such as the tubes
for compressed-air.
5 Safe and healthy work routines
nThe system requires a daily inspection to
make sure it works correctly. The inspection
is performed by the Farm Surveillance Mon-
itor (FSM) application, installed on the PC of
the farm. The customer should respond to
messages from the FSM.
nReproduction events (calvings, insemina-
tions, pregnancy checks, dry-offs, etc.) must
be reported daily in the herd management
software.
nUse only DeLaval Herd Navigator™ 100 cas-
settes and diluent containers.
nTo prevent malfunction, never load damaged
cassettes into the device.
nAlways contact a local service technician if
the system stops working.

7.1 Compliance Statement
This equipment was tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pur-
suant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruc-
tions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interfer-
ence to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following
measures:
nReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
nIncrease the separation between the equip-
ment and receiver.

1 Introduction
Herd Navigator 100 is an advanced automatic
analysis system designed for VMS V300, placed
on the inside of the blue door of the VMS cabinet.
It measures the progesterone level for each cow
with relevant time intervals, which supports the
reproduction management at the farm.

Herd Navigator 100 system workflow and main
connections:
1. The biomodel (C) sends a sampling order
to the Herd Navigator 100 unit (B).
2. When a cow is identified, the cow ID is sent
immediately to Herd Navigator 100. If the
cow ID matches the sampling order, a milk
sample is taken in Herd Navigator 100.
Consequently, milk sampling takes place
after milking.
3. When the sampling of a cow is completed,
a representative sample of milk is transpor-
ted from VMS (A) to Herd Navigator 100.
4. The results of the analysis are sent from the
Herd Navigator 100 to the biomodel soft-
ware to be processed. The results are
shown in the DelPro Farm Manager as data
in tables, graphs, and reports, along with
suggested actions (standard operating pro-
cedures, SOPs).

2.2 Cassettes
The Herd Navigator 100 cassette contains 400
dry sticks which are the analytical elements inten-
ded for the measurement of progesterone. The
daily use is about 15-20 sticks. The consumption
depends on specific farm conditions, such as the
number of cows per VMS and the number of
pregnant cows.
The stick shows two lines after the incubation
time. The first line (A) shows the progesterone
level in the milk. The more intense the line is, the
higher the progesterone concentration. The sec-
ond line (B) shows if a sufficient amount of liquid
has been applied on the stick.
2.3 Refrigerator for cassettes
A refrigerator is needed for storage of the Herd
Navigator 100 cassettes. The refrigerator
requires 30 litres of storage per Herd Navigator
100 unit.

2.4 Diluent box
The Herd Navigator 100 diluent box contains the
liquid diluent solution used during analysis. It is
mixed with milk to perform the progesterone anal-
ysis, but also to rinse and clean the dosage mod-
ule and mixing chamber.
Note! To prevent that milk sucks into the diluent
and contaminate the diluent, it is important to dis-
connect the diluent connector in case the flow
module is removed. Contaminated diluent will
destroy the function of the diluent and the sam-
pling results will be inaccurate.

3 Herd Navigator 100 sampling
workflow
The Herd Navigator 100 sampling routine is per-
formed in the VMS when the cows are milked.
1. Herd Navigator 100 receives milk from the
VMS controller via the single sample out-
take pump (SSO) (A).
2. The peristaltic milk pump (C) uses the new
milk to clean the tube from milk residues
from the previous sample and saves milk
for the new analysis. The needle (G) is in
the drain position and the first milk goes to
the drain.
3. The peristaltic diluent pump (E) runs at the
same time as the peristaltic milk pump (C).
The speed of the pumps is set by a mixing
ratio.
4. The mixing chamber (F) mix milk and
diluent (D).
5. The pumps stop, and needle (G) and stick
(H) move to the dose position.
6. The pumps start again and a dosage of 45
microliters of mixed milk and diluent is
applied to the stick (H).
7. A chemical reaction takes place in the stick
(H) and it is coloured.
8. The incubation time (around 5.5 min)
begins.
9. The stick (H) moves to the optical reader
which scans the intensity of the stick colour.
The measurement of the progesterone
concentration is then transferred to the bio-
model software.
10.The peristaltic milk pump (C) runs to empty
the tubes from residues and sends it to the
drain (the needle is in drain position).
11.The biomodel processes the analysis
results and communicates them to the Del-
Pro farm manager.
The Herd Navigator 100 is cleaned in the ordi-
nary VMS cleaning/rinse. During cleaning, the
needle is in the drain position throughout the
whole process.

4 Proactive farm management via
the Herd Navigator 100 system
Traditionally, farm management is based on
here-and-now actions from observations made in
the herd, together with information from the farm
management system and other data sources.
By analysing progesterone, Herd Navigator 100
creates alarms for heats, pregnancies, abortions
and reproduction disorders.
The Herd Navigator 100 biomodel tells the sys-
tem when different cows need to be sampled.
4.1 Biomodel
The Herd Navigator 100 biomodel:
nTells the system when different cows need to
be sampled.
nProcesses the results from the milk sample
analysis.
nUpdates the state of each cow, whenever a
new measurement result is received.
nSelf-learns, which means that estimations
and predictions of the state of individual cows
improve each time the cow is measured.
nSets heat alarms, along with an estimate of
the quality of the heat.
nAdjusts the reproduction status from anoes-
trus, to cyclic and then to potentially pregnant
depending on progesterone measurements.
nAfter insemination, confirms pregnancy and
checks for possible abortions.
nIssues warnings of abortions.
nIssues risks for prolonged anoestrus, follicu-
lar cysts, and luteal cysts.
Note! To get proper results, it is very important
to continuously update the cow calendar in Del-
Pro Farm Manager software. Reproduction
events, latest calvings, inseminations and preg-
nancy checks need to be registered in the system
daily.
4.2 Distribution of cows in the herd
The system is developed for all year calving and
not for strict seasonal calving.

4. In the After treatment window, press the

At any point in time, there must be at least 5% of
samples with low progesterone level (< 5 ng/mL)
and 25% of samples with high progesterone level
(approximately 20 ng/mL) within the last 48 hours
to get the Auto Correction Model (ACM) working.
Requirements:
nEach Herd Navigator 100 unit in a system has
a distribution of cows in different reproduction
stages.
It means that at least 5% of the cows should
be in heat and 25% of the cows should be
either pregnant or in the luteal phase of the
heat cycle.
nTo secure the required distribution of cows
with low and high progesterone measure-
ments, the minimum herd size for one Herd
Navigator 100 system is 30 annual cows.
