Animal Monitoring
Easy to deploy smart ear tags that monitor your young stock 24X7 for changes in behaviour and spikes in temperature
Identify key conditions
Our smart analytics platform will automatically match the symptoms encountered by the sensors to the most probably conditions such as pneumonia or scour.
Diagnose and treat
Use the mobile app to triage and assess severity, and get a recommended course of action. If you have specific protocols to follow we can build it into the logic, just upload and we do all the work.
AUTOMATE records
As you use the mobile app to register the treatment for an animal or install one of the monitoring tags have all the required records generated and filed for you.
Our motivations
Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) or
calf pneumonia as it is more commonly
known, is a considerable cost to the beef
industry. It can range from full blown
clinical disease with the subsequent
losses and reduced performance
to underlying, sometimes unseen
respiratory problems which may be less
evident but can be just as costly.
The loss of calves to pneumonia can be devastating and put a serious
dent in the profitability of a herd. But it’s not just the obvious
pneumonia cases that can be very costly. Many farmers see low grade
respiratory problems as a fact of life. However, although the disease
may be mild or even not show at all, underlying damage to the
respiratory tract can limit growth rates.

How Temperature Affects Calf Activity
There is a connection between daily peaks in activity and spikes in temperature- if we focus in on the period of October, there is an obvious and close link between changes in daily group activity and changes in average temperature. Potential reasons for this are: Warmer temperatures normally indicates more sunshine, which encourages more activity Read more about How Temperature Affects Calf Activity[…]
Impact of heat stress on calves (part 2)
Inside the calf hutch Back in the summer heatwave, outside temperature reached well over 30°C in some parts of the UK. In our trial, the temperature reached a maximum of 25°C, but this was still enough to cause some dramatic changes inside calf hutches. One of the hottest days of the year here was August Read more about Impact of heat stress on calves (part 2)[…]
Impact of Heat Stress on Calves
Extreme Weather This summer has seen some of the hottest ever temperatures that the UK has ever seen- many places had over 30°C for several days running. These heatwaves are becoming more common and it could well soon be the case that we expect them every year before long. The effect of heat stress on Read more about Impact of Heat Stress on Calves[…]
