The earlier you detect health problems, the earlier you can react and reduce severe courses of diseases on your farm.
Thanks to the continuous measurement of inner body temperature, smaXtec offers an outstanding early disease detection system. Why? As soon as the immune system reacts to germs or stress, body temperature changes – long before signs become visible on the outside.
This is also proven scientifically: Changes of other parameters are caused by changes of body temperature and thus only occur afterwards.
Feverish conditions, for example mastitis, metritis, respiratory diseases or other infections
Metabolic diseases, such as ketosis and milk fever
Don’t miss heats anymore – thanks to precise, reliable and automatic heat detection. This way, you know exactly when to inseminate a cow and improve the reproductive success on your farm.
Nowadays, dairy cows show shorter and weaker signs of heat, which additionally often takes place at night. Therefore, the risk of missing a heat is high, as the effort for observation is large and there are so many other things to do on the farm. Often, there is not enough staff to invest sufficient time in estrus monitoring.
However, every missed heat is a cost factor. According to studies, the cost for missed heats is at 80 to 120 Euro ($85-$130).
smaXtec supports you so this doesn’t happen: The smaXtec system detects heat for you and provides you with additional information on the ideal insemination time.
smaXtec detects heats based on behavioral changes in your cows. The system analyses behavior over a longer time and suggests an insemination time as soon as estrus has been detected.
Thanks to the insemination window, you know exactly when insemination has the highest probability for success, at which time success probability is already reduced and at which time you shouldn’t inseminate the cow anymore.
No matter if in the free-stall barn or on pasture: smaXtec reliably supports you in detecting estrus with specific algorithms for different types of husbandry.
With smaXtec you do not need to set an alarm at night to check if the cow is giving birth. You are informed upfront. This way, you make necessary preparations and support the cow if needed.
With smaXtec you do not only monitor your cows’ health in the critical phase around birth, you are also informed before calving takes place. How does it works? The change in body temperature is commonly and scientifically accepted as an indicator of imminent calving. Temperature decreases considerably when the calving process starts.
Based on this scientific finding, smaXtec detects calving early. You receive notifications 15 hours before calving on average, and have a good overview of your animals.
You are informed earlier and can make all necessary preparations
The right assistance will help to reduce the number of stillborn calves
The best thing about it? Calving detection is integrated in your smaXtec system. You have no additional work to detect calving, e.g. mount a sensor upfront, and you will be notified directly in the software.
