SmartTag Neck & Ear
More choice for smarter herd control with SmartTag behaviour monitoring.
Never miss a heat again.
Automatically monitor key heat signals including increased activity, sniffing, chin-resting and mounting - to get accurate, real-time insight into each cow’s cycle. Quickly spot cows in heat and identify the optimal time for insemination to boost conception rates and reduce empty days. Access detailed reproduction data to track irregular heats, non-cycling or non-pregnant cows, and manage your herd proactively.
Spot issues early. Act faster.
Track eating, rumination, inactivity and behaviour round-the-clock to catch health problems well before they escalate. The system compares each cow’s current behaviour with her own history, group norms and optimal standards, giving the earliest, most reliable alerts. Stay on top of transition cows, monitor post-treatment recovery and identify animals needing attention long before signs become visible.
Make better calls, every day.
Utilise full herd and group insights and alerts, to help you run a more productive, efficient dairy operation. Strategic reports track eating habits, behaviour consistency, cycling rates, insemination results and heat stress - so you can evaluate and finetune feeding, housing and milking strategies.
