Direct-to-Satellite Animal Monitoring

CERES TAG devices transmit data directly to low earth orbit satellites, eliminating the need for towers, antennas or on-farm infrastructure. This ensures unlimited global visibility of cattle location, movement and behaviour across all production systems.

  • No infrastructure or maintenance required
  • Global coverage, even in remote locations
  • Three years of satellite connectivity

Early Disease Detection Through Behaviour Insights

Continuous monitoring of key behaviours—such as grazing time, resting patterns and movement changes—helps identify early indicators of illness, disease or distress.

By detecting abnormal behaviour sooner, CERES TAG helps:

  • Reduce the spread of infectious disease
  • Improve recovery rates
  • Minimise production losses
  • Identify inefficient or underperforming animals

Detailed individual and herd-level insights support proactive health and welfare management.
Real-Time Alerts & Actionable Data

CERES TAG delivers immediate notifications when animals show unusually low or high activity, enabling faster response to potential issues such as:

  • Sickness or injury
  • Calving complications
  • Theft or entrapment
  • Environmental stress

These alerts support timely intervention and improved animal welfare outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

CERES TAG livestock health tracking devices continuously analyse animal behaviour patterns such as grazing, walking and resting. Sudden changes in these patterns often indicate emerging health issues. By alerting clients early, CERES TAG devices can help reduce disease spread, improve recovery rates and protect herd-wide productivity.
Yes. Researchers value CERES TAG products for their accurate behavioural, location and welfare data. CERES TAG cattle health monitoring tag devices supply consistent metrics that support epidemiological studies, disease modelling and field observations. This information strengthens understanding of health trends and contributes to improved disease control strategies. [can we link to some of our press releases with global universities here?]
No. CERES TAG products work without towers, networks or additional hardware. All information is transmitted directly to satellite and accessed through existing farm or animal management software. This ensures easy adoption and reliable global monitoring for any operation. Contact us today for more information on setting up CERES TAG satellite tags for livestock health monitoring.
Ranchers, producers, veterinarians, animal health professionals and researchers can all benefit from CERES TAG herd health management technology. These animal health monitoring devices provide daily insights into behaviour and welfare, making them suitable for commercial operations, scientific studies and health-focused programs.
Yes, our CERES RANCHER and RANCH products are re-deployable as many times as required for the life of the device.
