CowManager’s Advanced Cow Monitoring System

If an animal has health issues, this is shown in its behavior, but also in its ear temperature. By measuring ear temperature and behavior data CowManager gives clear insight into how the cow is feeling. For example, an alert tells days before it can be clinically determined whether an animal has pneumonia. Also, metabolic problems surrounding calving can be avoided by treating the animal with preventative medication.

The smart algorithm also shows valuable insights into the cycles of individual cows, as not coming in heat or aborted, by combining heat intensity and heat stage with cow data (Fertility Insights). Before calving the system even points out underperforming dry cows. This allows dairymen to prevent diseases after calving like milk fever, metritis e-coli, RP’s DA’s lame cows etc.

Michael Johnson owner of Trailside Holsteins LLC, United States: “With CowManager, early detection of mastitis, fresh cow illnesses and subclinical respiratory infections has been substantial. I am definitely catching the majority of sick cows earlier. In most cases, there is a faster recovery, and the cows bounce back sooner.”

Always up to date software and hardware through over-the-air-programming

CowManager was the first to come up with a system in the cow’s ear. Our vision is to continuously develop the system in response to the market and our customers’ input. By literally working together with dairy farmers, we can continue to innovate and develop products that catch on. All new enhancements and software up-dates are realized through over-the-air-programming. Solutions which make a farmer’s life easier and to achieve a successful and sustainable future in global farming.

Just plug and play! Quick and simple installation, no cables needed

Convenience and accessibility are paramount in this respect. The data transmitted by the sensors is collected by (solar) routers which can be installed either inside or outside. With only one handling, simply put the sensor in the cow’s ear and easy link and delink cows by phone via QR code. So, no pulling cables through the entire barn, just plug-and-play.

Scott Bohnert – Bohnert Jerseys, United States: “It’s so quick, easy and simple. That’s the reason why we went for the CowManager system.”

Compatible with with more than 40+ herd management systems

Interfaces give dairy farmers the opportunity to have their cow data automatically and simultaneously available in both systems. By combining two data streams, additional information also becomes available with the CowManager alerts, for example, calving date or insemination time. This enables faster diagnosis. CowManager has established integrations with more than 40+ management systems & sorting gates worldwide.

Barry O’Mahony owner of Berell Farm Ltd, Ireland: “ICBF integration saves me a lot of time in the office recording information in multiple platforms and it makes our decision making much easier and effective. It helps us to be more on top of fresh cow problems and allows us to spend more time caring for our animals at busy times.”
