HOW IT WORKS

1.

Individual cow behaviour is recorded 24/7 and linked to each animal's ID tag.



2.

Cow behaviours are tracked based on cow position and state (ruminating, feeding, resting, other).


3.

Data is automatically uploaded to Datamars Livestock any time an animal is within approx. 500 metres of the Gateway mounted at the dairy shed.

4.

Insights are accessible via the web or mobile app and displayed on an easy-to-understand dashboard.


5.

Access data from almost anywhere. Datamars Livestock is a cloud-based online program so your on-heat data is accessible from any device with an internet connection.

6.

All behaviour data, heat and health insights are integrated through Datamars Livestock and can be easily shared with third parties including veterinarians and AI technicians.
