Powering a sustainable dairy industry
CowAlert is a data processing and analysis tool that presents actionable insights to the dairy farmer through a user friendly interface.
Data is collected through the IDS i-QUBE wireless sensors.
The goal is to provide a complete solution to help optimise productivity and well-being of your cows and contribute to a sustainable future of your business.
Lameness
Lameness is one of the most significant issues affecting dairy cattle. It compromises health and well-being and impacts on fertility and productivity. Early detection is extremely important, and our lameness detection module gives you the information required to help you reduce the number, severity and duration of lameness cases.
Lameness Alerts are generated daily to help you identify and prioritise issues and intervene early.
Mobility monitoring
CowAlert assesses the mobility of your cows on a continuous basis and works out their daily mobility score. The score uses an industry standard 4-point scale so that you can easily fit the module into your existing management approach.
In addition to generating a mobility score for each cow, the module also shows how your scores are changing over time and how your farm compares to the top 25% in the UK.
Fertility
Our superior heat detection capabilities have been validated through scientific studies and head-to-head comparisons with other systems, showing our system to be the real leader in the market.
Because we understand that each farm is different, you can optimise the settings for your farm and define your own AI window. In addition to clear alerts, you can also view the full historic data for each cow providing valuable insights into the cycles of your individual cows.
Lying time
Lying time is a high priority behaviour. Lack of lying and sleep impacts production and well-being in your herd and your bottom line! Cows have a strong instinct to lie down and rest for 10 to 14 hours per day.
CowAlert monitors your herd 24/7, providing clear insights for each animal, by group and for the entire herd. This enables you to identify issues and monitor the impact of changes to management practice.
Integrations
CowAlert integrates with many farm management systems including:
