Smartbow integration:
dairycomp

smartbow

SMARTBOW® from Zoetis, the world’s leading animal health company, is an ear tag-based sensor system that monitors rumination, accurately detects heats1 and tracks animal location in real-time*.

The SMARTBOW ear tags continuously transmit individual animal data to an on-farm server. Within the server this data is analyzed to create meaningful insights and alerts. These insights are designed to help dairy producers enhance animal health and wellbeing, maximize productivity and manage labor.

FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

With the integration of SMARTBOW and DairyComp, dairies can enter a range of information into DairyComp and that information will automatically migrate to the SMARTBOW system. This includes:

  • Cow ID
  • SMARTBOW ear tag ID
  • Calving dates
  • Breeding dates
  • Pen numbers/moves
  • Pregnancy status
  • Sold/Died status

In addition, the heat alerts and rumination alerts generated by the SMARTBOW system automatically appear in DairyComp and can be visualized within this platform.

SMARTBOW activity and rumination data can be viewed as graphs in DairyComp.

This bi-directional integration reduces double entry of data and simplifies working across the two systems.

DairyComp can manage data from multiple SMARTBOW servers, where applicable.
