The smaXtec pH & Temp Sensor is designed to provide continuous measurement of ruminal pH and temperature of cows. The recorded data is transmitted wirelessly to the Base Station in real-time.
BENEFITS OF PH MEASUREMENT
- Monitoring and maintenance of rumen health
* Early detection of fermentation disorders
- Feed management
* Increase in feed efficiency (IOFC = Income over Feed Costs) due to improved feed conversion
* Mobilizing unused performance potential with a higher energy ration without impacting animal health
* Increase in feed uptake (=increase in milk yield)
* Needs-oriented ration (monitoring of ration changes, feedstuff selection)
