Centralize data
Farm, health and breeding data come together in one place – stored in a structured way and available at any time.
Present information clearly
Complex raw data becomes clear metrics and analyses that are immediately understandable and usable in everyday work.
Apply it
in practice
Mobile applications enable data entry directly in the barn and support the daily work of farmers, advisors and veterinarians.
A strong network for
Germany and Austria

applications in everyday work.
As of 2025
The RDV stands for certified quality, independence, expertise and performance - in the hands of farmers and aligned with their requirements.
Developed from practice.
Made for the barn.
IT solutions for herd management,
animal health and breeding
The RDV makes farm, health and breeding data available where it is needed – clearly, up to date and practical.
Klauenprofi
The Klauenprofi app is a specialized application for farmers that enables the documentation and analysis of hoof health directly on the animal. Findings, treatments and recommendations are recorded digitally and linked directly to herd management.
RDV-mobil
For mobile data entry directly in the barn. With the RDV-mobil app, farms can record observations, treatments and events directly on site — even without an internet connection.
RDV Herd Manager
The central application for an optimal overview of the herd. RDV Herd Manager provides farmers with all relevant information about their animals — from performance data and health information to fertility and pedigree.
RDV Container
The RDV Container app is a digital solution for managing semen portions for on-farm inseminators. It virtually represents the physical semen container and makes organization, documentation and inventory easier directly on a smartphone or tablet.
OptiBull
Computer-assisted mating planning. OptiBull calculates optimal bull recommendations for each cow based on breeding values, pedigree and individual breeding goals.
Market registration
A practical tool for breeding farms to quickly and easily register cattle for marketing events such as auctions or exports.
Data becomes
added value.
A data platform for
cattle production
The RDV consolidates data from cattle production on a shared digital platform. This creates up-to-date analyses and a sound basis for decisions in agriculture, consulting, animal health and research.

Innovations for cattle farming
Together with associations, research institutions and farms, the RDV develops digital solutions for the cattle farming of tomorrow. The projects create new insights for animal health, herd management and breeding.
Together with veterinarians and farms, the RDV links diagnoses, observations and performance data to make health risks visible at an early stage.
The RDV supports scientific projects with prepared data and integrates new findings directly into its applications.
Millions of animal and farm records form the basis for breeding value estimation, genetic analyses and forward-looking breeding decisions.
The RDV develops interfaces for milking robots, feeding systems, scales and sensors so that data can be analyzed automatically.
