The smaXtec Sensor is designed to provide continuous measurement of the temperature in the rumen as well as activity levels. The recorded data is transmitted to the smaXtec Base Station in real-time.
BENEFITS OF TEMPERATURE MONITORING:
- Early detection of onset of disease
(feverish disorders, metabolic disorders, post-calving disorders)
- Detection of start of calving
(reduction of the number of still births, optimization of calving management)
- Early detection of signs of heat stress
- Drinking (monitoring of water management, detection of changes in drinking behaviour, number of daily drinking cycles)
