This review deals with the prospects and achievements of individual dairy cow management (IDCM) and the obstacles and difficulties encountered in attempts to successfully apply IDCM into routine dairy management. All aspects of dairy farm management, health, reproduction, nutrition and welfare are discussed in relation to IDCM. In addition, new IDCM R&D goals in these management fields are suggested, with practical steps to achieve them. The development of management technologies is spurred by the availability of off-the-shelf sensors and expanded recording capacity, data storage, and computing capabilities, as well as by demands for sustainable dairy production and improved animal wellbeing at a time of increasing herd size and milk production per cow. Management technologies are sought that would enable the full expression of genetic and physiological potential of each cow in the herd, to achieve the dairy operation's economic goals whilst optimizing the animal's wellbeing. Results and conclusions from the literature, as well as practical experience supported by published and unpublished data are analyzed and discussed. The object of these efforts is to identify knowledge and management routine gaps in the practical dairy operation, in order to point out directions and improvements for successful implementation of IDCM in the dairy cows' health, reproduction, nutrition and wellbeing.
本文综述了个体奶牛管理（IDCM）的前景和成就，以及在将 IDCM 成功应用于常规奶牛管理中遇到的障碍和困难。讨论了与 IDCM 相关的奶牛场管理、健康、繁殖、营养和福利的各个方面。此外，还针对这些管理领域提出了新的 IDCM 研发目标，并提出了实现这些目标的实际步骤。随着现成传感器的可用性以及记录容量、数据存储和计算能力的扩大，以及可持续的奶牛生产和提高动物福利的需求的增加，管理技术得到了发展，同时奶牛的数量和每头奶牛的产奶量也在增加。人们寻求能够使牛群中每头奶牛的遗传和生理潜力得到充分发挥的管理技术，以实现奶牛场的经济目标，同时优化动物的福利。分析和讨论了文献中的结果和结论，以及出版和未出版数据支持的实践经验。这些努力的目的是确定实际奶牛养殖中知识和管理常规方面的差距，以便为 IDCM 在奶牛健康、繁殖、营养和福利方面的成功实施指明方向和改进。
