SenseHub Dairy is now compatible with pre-weaned, nipple-fed calves housed in groups.
The health and growth of replacement heifer calves has a long-lasting influence on the herd's long-term performance, with any diseases, respiratory problems or welfare issues experienced during the animal's first year having the potential to reduce the animal's fertility and productivity later in life.
Ensuring the herd's youngstock are healthy and disease-free is therefore critical to the herd's future viability.
With the SenseHub® Dairy Youngstock system, herd managers can monitor calves during their first 12 months to quickly and easily identify any signs of ill health or opportunities for welfare improvements. The system is now compatible with all nipple-fed calves (housed in groups or single occupancy hutches) and post-weaning calves.
A One-Of-A-Kind Monitoring System
The SenseHub® Dairy Youngstock system uses an electronic ear tag to monitor the behavioural patterns of calves from birth to 12 months of age and uses the data to identify any signs of potential ill health or opportunities for welfare improvements.
As soon as the system detects any irregular behavioural patterns that could be a symptom of a health or welfare issue, the SenseHub smartphone or desktop app highlights the animal for inspection. A programmable LED on the ear tag makes it easier and quicker to locate the relevant animal so that the necessary care or treatment can be administered as quickly as possible.
