CowScout is a new technology made to anticipate when cows are ready to be bred by monitoring a cow’s movement electronically through a sensor. The technology uses electronic heat detection on cows that can shorten labour, enhance pregnancy rates, reduce days open and lessen the need for hormone therapies. The innovation helps to optimise fertility and feeding management for cows. It also detects changes in the eating and rumination behaviour of herds and measures moments of activity and inactivity, which helps in indicating potential health problems while the alert function notifies if the cow is having eating or health issues, allowing for swift reaction and high performance. CowScout leg tag is capable of continually monitoring five of a cow’s daily behaviours such as standing time, lying time, walking time, stand-up count and step count, which are crucial to cow production.
