heat detection & health monitoring
why is it important?
A shorter interval results in improved earnings of $2 per cow, per number of days (of the shorter interval) annually.

Features
RFID EAR TAGS
Works with many brands of RFID button ear tags supplied by “others”. For the best read range and ID performance, AMS Galaxy USA recommends FDX tags (typically yellow). HDX tags also work, typically with shorter range. Note: RFID read range performance can be affected by other barn equipment and farm electrical noise and stray voltage – not related to the robot scope of supply.
MRS – MOTION REGISTRATION LEG TRANSPONDER
Entry level technology for cow ID and activity monitoring. Technology developed by Hokofarm Group and used on a majority of world-wide installations. Cows must visit the robot to download activity data.
HEALTH & HEAT LEG TRANSPONDER
Advanced health technology for cow ID, activity, and health monitoring. Technology developed by Nedap and sold under many brand names. Data is transmitted real time with one or more antennas in the barn and health and activity is measured by counting steps, measuring standing time, lying time, and the total number of laying periods.
HEALTH & HEAT NECK TRANSPONDER
Advanced health technology for cow ID, activity, health monitoring, and cow location. Technology developed by Nedap and sold under many brand names. Data is transmitted real time with one or more antennas and position beacons placed through-out the barn. Health and activity are measured by monitoring chewing and rumination motion of the cow. Cow position, or sometimes referred to as cow “GPS”, is displayed on the management PC or smart phone app real-time for improved efficiency and herd management.
