Ensure Optimal Health with the Transition Monitor
The CowManager Transition Monitor identifies cows at risk up to 50 days before calving, ensuring proactive intervention and reducing transition diseases. Monitoring eating and rumination behaviors helps to detect cows that are susceptible to transition diseases such as metritis, milk fever, ketosis, and displaced abomasum. Early detection ensures you can provide the necessary support to prevent health issues post-calving.
Identify a Cow at Risk in the Transition Period
75% of all adult cow disease events occur in the first 30 days after calving. Our Transition Monitor identifies underperforming cows up to 50 days before calving that may struggle post calving. We give you in-depth insights into the transition period of the individual cow and on group level to help you improve your transition management.
The Transition Monitor helps farmers keep an eye on dry cows and fresh cows, monitoring them closely as they transition back to the milking herd.
Improve Your Cow Transition Management
The CowManager system gives you the opportunity to improve your cows’ transition management. Dry cows that show reduced eating and rumination behavior are at higher risk of becoming ill after calving. By detecting subtle changes in behavior and eating patterns before symptoms become visible, CowManager monitors the cows that need attention and, more importantly, prevent post-calving diseases by taking early action.
The transition alert helps to detect cows that are susceptible to transition diseases such as milk fever, metritis, ketosis, and displaced abomasum. The system not only provides insights into individual cow behavior but also group behavior during critical events like dry off and calving.
Consequences of Diseases for Cows in The Transition Period
The transition alert differs from a health alert, as clinical signs are often not displayed during the transition period. Reduced eating and rumination times during the transition period for cows may be caused by inflammatory responses such as undiagnosed mastitis and lameness, or chronic stress resulted from overcrowding.
Manage proactively with our transition alerts. Monitor your at-risk cows and provide them with the needed supportive treatment.
The Transition Monitor is a part of the Transition & Nutrition Module.

Nutrition as Base for Cow Well-Being
Cow nutrition is vital for running a healthy dairy business. Solid feed management can create a powerful base for your herd health. The group comparison function enables you to compare different groups and track the same group across different time frames, allowing you to for example monitor seasonality or management changes. With the Nutrition Monitor, you’re able to dive into daily and even hourly graphs to help you run a stable dairy operation.
Optimize Feed Management with the Group Monitor
Over 50% of your daily variable costs are feed related, so it’s essential to make it count. With the low feed intake group alerts you’re able to detect severe drops in the group’s eating pattern. This makes it easy to monitor deviations before they become severe drops, so you can adjust your feed strategy in time and keep those milk production numbers up.
Get to the bottom of your group’s eating and rumination behavior by checking the group overview graph. This graph gives an overview of feeding practices per group overtime. It’s also possible to compare groups to one another and monitor the effect of ration changes.
Group Alerts
The Nutrition Monitor has different types of group alerts: heat stress, low feed intake, group stress and group health. All of these alerts give you the tools you need to stay on top of feed management and group performance.
Monitor ration changes and improve your management with detailed insights into group behavior to serve your herd’s needs.
Identify Heat Stress
Heat stress leads to an increased incidence of diseases, impairs reproduction, and reduces milk production. Sometimes it’s unpreventable, but the heat stress group alert makes you aware of heat stress and its severity. Ear temperature, activity and changes in eating and rumination are the perfect parameters for heat stress detection.
CowManager provides an overview of both current and past heat stress cases, enabling you to compare data across years and improve your heat abatement strategy to prevent future heat stress.

The Right Nutrition for Your Cattle
For dairy farmers, monitoring what goes into a cow’s diet and understanding the significance of feed management can make all the difference in optimizing herd health and milk production. Keeping a close eye on what your cows eat ensures they receive the right balance of nutrients, which directly impacts their overall well-being and, ultimately, your bottom line.
Cattle nutrition software allows dairy farmers to precisely manage their herd’s dietary needs. It helps tailor nutrition plans to individual cows, ensuring they receive the right mix of proteins, vitamins, and minerals. This targeted approach can boost milk yields, enhance reproductive performance, and improve overall herd health. In the modern dairy industry, where efficiency is key, cattle nutrition software is an invaluable tool for those striving to achieve the best results for their dairy operations.
Valuable Tool for Nutritionists
Get your staff and team of specialists on board as well and track the nutritional requirements of your herd together with the MultiView functionality. This gives remote users access to your CowManager system, simply by adding them in just a click.
The MultiView functionality allows you to compare cow data from different moments, dating all the way back to the installation date of your CowManager system. This makes it easier to recognize patterns in the graphs. Track the effects of ration changes with your nutritionist, analyze nutritional requirements for pregnant cows with your veterinarian, and monitor cows closely during the transition period.
Health Module
Get a grip on your cows’ well-being with our 24/7 health monitor. Catch diseases early and track recovery in close detail.
Monitor Your Herd's Health
Did you know that when a cow gets an infection, the blood in the ears moves to vital organs? A crucial sign which can save you a lot of problems. Our Health Module provides early disease detection. CowManager cows live longer, produce more milk, are in better shape and perform better.
Reduce Sick Cows
Successful farming starts with a healthy herd. Our Health Module monitors the well-being of your herd 24/7. Is a cow not eating, not ruminating, or having a change in behavior? You will get alerted immediately, so you can intervene proactively. The module helps you pick up on diseases like displaced abomasum, mastitis, ketosis, and E. coli in an early stage.
Your cow’s ears are full of vital information which tells you how they’re doing. Our ear sensors monitor your cows’ rumination, eating, inactivity, activity, ear temperature and high active behavior. Does a cow have an ear temperature 7°C lower than the herd average, and is there an alert of illness? You’re the first to know.
Cow Health Made Clear
Monitoring cow health with the Health Module is very straight-forward. The system actively alerts you whenever a cow’s behavior changes compared to before, considering their temperature compared to the herd average, as well as group changes that might cause stress. The alerts notify you of different stages of a cow’s health.
A yellow ‘Suspicious’ alert pops up when there’s decreased activity, or moderately impaired eating and rumination time. An orange ‘Sick’ alert indicates a cow is much less active, with greatly reduced eating and rumination time. A red ‘Very Sick’ alert means that the cow’s activity, eating and rumination time have seriously reduced. There’s also a black ‘No Movement’ alert. This indicates no movement was detected in the sensor. This could mean the sensor is no longer attached to the cow, or that the cow hasn’t been moving at all.
Improve Herd Performance
All cow health care data is always at your fingertips. Just open your laptop or get your smartphone out. Our system shows you the ear temperature of the specific cow compared to the average of the total herd. And if a cow’s already sick, you can monitor her recovery in detail. The Health Module graphs show users the rumination, eating, resting (not active), active and high active behavior per cow. The graph can display these behaviors either per hour or per day, allowing users to deep dive into a cow’s health and compare their behavior to previous days.
Give your veterinarian, herdsperson, and other specialists remote access to selected data via the MultiView function, so they can monitor your herd’s performance as well. That way, you can keep an eye on cow health together, and make sure every cow in the herd stays as healthy as possible or gets nursed back to health successfully.

Cows in heat usually show increased activity and a drop in rumination at the same time. It’s exactly these two behaviors that our digital fertility monitor is able to monitor with impressive accuracy. The electronic heat detection system displays data as simple as possible.
The heat graph shows monitored activities in a very straightforward way. This way, you’re able to recognize a cow in heat just by looking at this graph, and you’ll know exactly when a heat started as well as the duration of the cycle of the cow.
Insemination Window
One of the most unique features of our dairy cow heat detection system, is our insemination window. It provides precise insights into the optimal time of insemination. This way, more cows can be successfully inseminated, which results in a higher pregnancy rate and a lower calving interval.
It’s also possible to filter out cows that are within the optimal timing of insemination for both conventional and sexed semen. You’ll see immediately which cows are ready for insemination.
Fertility Insights
Do you want to know the individual fertility status of a cow? Fertility Insights has your back. This functionality of our fertility monitor tells you which cows could have potential fertility problems. CowManager users can easily access essential fertility data and see which cows are possibly pregnant, which cows might have aborted, which cows have irregular heats, and more. Our ear sensor monitors a cow’s overall fertility.
After calving it’s important to keep an eye on those cows with no heat alerts; this can indicate possible fertility problems and you won’t see them on the heat alert list. With Fertility Insights you know everything about the cow’s fertility cycle. Did you inseminate a cow, but the sensor detects heat activities and gives a heat alert afterwards? Then the insemination was probably not successful. When an inseminated cow doesn’t get a heat alert, it’s possible to check her for pregnancy. If the cow is confirmed pregnant, Fertility Insights will monitor the cow for possible abortion.
