In the evolving landscape of animal management and conservation, animal monitoring technologies are becoming indispensable to livestock producers across the globe. At CERES TAG, we want to bring more animal health and behavioural information to more farmers, handing them the reigns to keep up with an increasingly digital world. Our devices offer producers a simple solution that not only enhances animal welfare, but also promotes increase operational efficiency and improved profitability.
What is Behaviour Classification?
Our devices also offer behaviour classification through our Advanced Pasture Feed Intake technology, offering farmers and ranchers detailed insights into various animal activities, such as grazing, resting and ruminating, walking, and drinking.
This data is collected through the CERES TAG device attached to each animal, capturing movement, location, and specific behaviors indicative of grazing. Sophisticated algorithms, developed over 15 years, analyze this data to distinguish between different activities, including estimating dry matter intake and methane production.
The benefits of this behavior classification are multifaceted. By monitoring Pasture Feed Intake, farmers can assess pasture quality and adjust grazing strategies to optimize feed efficiency. Changes in feeding behavior can serve as early indicators of health issues, allowing for timely interventions and treatments, thereby enhancing animal welfare. Additionally, insights into grazing behavior assist in managing pasture sustainability, ensuring animals have access to optimal nutrition. The comprehensive behavior data supports informed decision-making across various aspects of livestock management, from nutrition to health interventions and pasture management.
But our devices do more than just behaviour classification.
They also offer critical insights into animal health monitoring, providing farmers and ranchers valuable insights into their animals.
Why Health Monitoring?
Our technology provides valuable insights into animal activity, health, and welfare. By analyzing movement patterns, the device can recognise behavioral changes that may indicate issues such as illness, injury, or distress and alert ranchers and farmers so the appropriate action can take place. This data-driven approach enables farmers and ranchers to make informed decisions, improving overall livestock management and reducing potential losses. With continuous monitoring, CERES TAG helps identify anomalies in real time, ensuring proactive intervention when necessary.
In addition to health monitoring, behavior monitoring supports enhanced productivity and efficiency in livestock operations. By understanding grazing habits, activity levels, and movement trends, producers can optimize pasture usage and resource allocation. This technology also aids in identifying breeding behaviors, improving herd management strategies. With CERES TAG, farmers gain a deeper understanding of their livestock, leading to more sustainable and profitable operations.
Mortality Alerts
CERES TAG provides prompt notifications when a tag remains inactive for an extended period, signaling potential health issues, tag loss, or mortality. This feature enables rapid responses to health emergencies, mitigating the impact of disease and loss.
High Activity Alerts
Abnormal increases in animal movement can indicate distress due to factors like predator attacks, theft, or welfare concerns. CERES TAG's high activity alerts facilitate immediate action to address such issues, thereby improving overall animal welfare.
