Tiny Pill - Big Results
The SmartBolus product is an active rumen bolus which takes temperatures (96/day) as well as motion samples throughout the day. The data is transmitted wirelessly back to the dairy PC computer where reports are generated to show exception conditions, by cow, for health and estrus. Data is collected internally, so you don't have to worry about sensors getting bumped and knocked off the animal. No manual scanning is involved, it is a fully automated system.
Cow temperatures can be monitored effortlessly. The system will monitor the temperatures of cows throughout the day, every day alerting you when a cow's temperature is out of the norm. With the SmartBolus system, monitoring your cows becomes as simple as looking at a computer report each morning. Not only can you monitor your fresh cows with ease, now you can monitor your cows in the close-up pen or throughout the lactation, letting the computer alert you only when an exception reading occurs.
Internal motion sensors allow the SmartBolus system to provide heat detection reporting. A straight-forward report will alert you to those cows whose movement scores indicate they are in heat allowing you to catch those missed heats and improve your pregnancy rates. The system can monitor the drinking patterns of the cow. This can be an early warning system for rumen health issues.
The SmartBolus system can also provide a calving alert. The data transmitted from the cow indicates when she is likely to calve. This information can be very helpful, allowing the dairy to monitor a cow more closely and potentially avoid a lost calf in the case of a difficult birth.
The SmartBolus product works seamlessly with DHI-Plus herd management software (including Pocket-PC) or can be run stand-alone. Data is available not only for cows being milked but also for cows in the close-up, hospital etc. The bolus has a four-year battery life.
