CowManager introduces Youngstock Monitor, a new comprehensive solution to monitor calf behaviour.
CowManager introduces Youngstock Monitor
Optimise rearing for future herd health and productivity
This innovative system provides real-time alerts for early disease detection and notifies producers when a calf may be falling behind its herd mates. With Youngstock Monitor and the new lightweight CowManager ear sensor, farmers need just one sensor per animal for its entire lifetime, from calf to cow.
Powered by artificial intelligence with ever-evolving algorithms, Youngstock Monitor adapts to each operation and the behavioural development of each calf, allowing farmers to make farm-specific predictions on the health of their individual calves and focus treatment in a targeted way.
Monitor Calf Health
The calf health alerts come in three levels: suspicious, sick and very sick, and detect subtle behavioural changes associated with illness often missed through visual observation. These alerts help facilitate quicker interventions, lower treatment intensity, reduce reliance on antibiotics and decrease mortality rates. Effective calf health management leads to increased future milk production and a healthier, more productive herd.
“With our innovative calf alerts, we can now monitor from calf to cow, for an animal’s entire lifetime. That is the CowManager vision”, says Gerard Griffioen, founder of CowManager.
“This approach helps producers maximise performance and build the foundation for a productive and healthy herd.”
Innovation Award
Youngstock Monitor earned a Silver Medal Innovation Award at EuroTier 2024 and is now available in several countries.
