Animal localisation
Localisation and behavioural recording of breeding animals
By monitoring the behaviour of cows in stalls, the right measures can be taken in a timely manner if necessary. The position and activity of a cow are measured via an intelligent ear tag. From this information, the state of health and oestrus behaviour can be determined. The ear tag is designed for low-power operation to avoid battery replacement.
