As you look across your cattle herd, how soon are you able to identify cows that aren’t feeling well? Early diagnosis not only reduces your risk of mortality but the number of times you may have to treat a sick animal.
“Historically, there are 22.5 million cattle on feed displaying symptoms of illness each year, with 2% to 3% of those animals dying from sickness,” notes Andrew Uden, Quantified Ag. “Connected technology can help reduce that number and transform how the industry identifies sick animals.”
Based in Lincoln, Nebraska, Uden, along with Vishal Singh, developed a proactive system to track an animal’s biometrics through an ear tag equipped with sensors.
