By bringing together bolus tech, smart data and AI, smaXtec gives you next-level insights into your herd’s health. You can spot issues before they show up, take action early, lift repro performance, and make the day-to-day a whole lot easier – herd health has never been this simple. The bolus sits safely in the cow’s reticulum and delivers accurate readings from inside the animal – no worries about weather, mud, collars getting lost, or anything else that can muck up traditional sensors. It tracks internal body temperature, water intake and drinking patterns, rumination based on reticulum contractions, plus overall activity. All this gold-standard data helps you step in early, cut treatment costs, and keep milk production steady. smaXtec also boosts heat detection, lifts repro rates, and helps make calving smoother and less stressful. Why does smaXtec give you such an early edge? Most dairy cow health problems start with tiny shifts in body temperature. Because smaXtec measures internal temperature with incredible accuracy (±0.01 °C), farmers can pick up issues up to four days before anything shows on the outside – even before changes in feed intake or rumination kick in. Alerts go straight to your phone or computer, meaning you can jump in early and keep cows on track. With reliable, real-time info, you’re spotting problems long before you’d ever see them in the paddock. Quick action means fewer blowouts and less chance of serious illness. Taranaki farmer Hayden Lawrence, who milks 430 cows, says: “Using smaXtec has improved heat detection, reduced mastitis cases and costs by 64% and 56%, respectively, and helped better manage calving, calf health and fresh calvers.” Feilding farmer David Thompson shares a similar experience: “I received three temperature alerts over three days. The vet confirmed pneumonia, even though the cow appeared fine. Without smaXtec, I wouldn’t have noticed it until 3–4 days later.” In Te Awamutu, Daniel Bradbury, who runs 600 cows, has noticed big gains too: “The ability to track rumination post-calving and receive temperature alerts for early signs of milk fever has been invaluable.” Now he can step in before cows even go down. The calving alert has also paid off: “One of the standout features is the calving alert, which was a great help when one of our cows calved a month early at grazing. Overall, the smaXtec bolus has been a game-changer for our farm, offering peace of mind and enabling more proactive, efficient care.” ________________________________________ Keen to learn more?
