Health Module

The dairy uses CowManager’s Health Module to monitor herd health and recovery in close detail. The module detects diseases such as ketosis and mastitis early on, one or two days before a cow even shows signs of being ill.

Nico explains: “By catching sick cows earlier, we’ve gotten better results in getting them better. And then if we treat one and she is doing better, we can see that on CowManager and we don’t have to separate her nay more often than necessary.”

Why CowManager?

Monitor Your Herd’s Health 24/7

Our Health Module provides early disease detection! CowManager cows live longer, produce more milk, are in better shape and therefore perform better.

Catch Diseases Early, Reduce Sick Cows

Get alerted immediately when a cow isn't ruminating or eating, and intervene proactively. Pick up on diseases like mastitis and ketosis in an early stage.

Improve Herd Performance

Your cow's ears are full of vital information. Monitor their rumination, eating, inactivity, activity, ear temperature, and high active behavior.
