Livestock Identification and Traceability System – Enhance Cattle Tracking & Productivity with CERES TAG Devices

Cattle GPS Tracking System in Australia

CERES TAG livestock GPS tracking devices send information directly to low earth orbit satellites, making monitoring possible anywhere in the world. Clients gain access to live cattle tracking, daily behavioural summaries and early indicators of animal health changes, supporting timely decision-making while improving long-term sustainability. This solution applies seamlessly to operations of all sizes and integrates with existing management software, offering a global monitoring capability without additional networks or infrastructure.

Direct Satellite Connectivity

CERES TAG cattle tracking devices feature direct-to-satellite capability, enabling uninterrupted tracking without the need for towers or gateways. This ensures that producers in remote regions can still access animal locations, movement patterns and feed intake data. The satellite link improves consistency and minimises downtime, giving clients confidence that their livestock is always visible.

Comprehensive Behaviour Monitoring

Movement, grazing, resting and ruminating data is collected and analysed on-tag before transmission. This provides producers with meaningful behavioural insights that highlight normal patterns and potential anomalies. With daily summaries and clear trends available for each animal and the herd, clients can make informed decisions that improve welfare and productivity.

Enhanced Theft Prevention and Traceability

As part of an advanced cattle traceability system, CERES TAG sensors can assist with theft reduction by providing continuous GPS location monitoring and tamper-proof application. CERES TAG ear tags for animal traceability cannot be removed or redeployed to another animal, which strengthens biosecurity and ensures a secure chain of identification. This livestock traceability technology also aligns with growing industry and consumer expectations for improved transparency.

Improved Animal Management with CERES TAG’s Industry-Leading Technology

CERES TAG delivers a livestock identification and traceability system that extends beyond basic tracking by incorporating health analytics, welfare alerts and sustainable land-use insights. The system strengthens operational decision-making and provides producers with information that supports long-term profitability.

Pasture Feed Intake Insights

Pasture Feed Intake is calculated using a method developed over 15 years of research and thousands of hours of validation. Clients can review grazing behaviour over the past 24 hours or previous week, helping to identify long-term patterns that influence feeding strategies.

Health and Behavioural Alerts

CERES TAG devices monitor behavioural changes that may indicate illness, distress or environmental risks. Immediate notifications of no activity or high activity help clients respond early to potential issues. This rapid response capability improves recovery rates, reduces disease spread and protects profitability across the operation.

Geofencing combined with Virtual Livestock Fencing

CERES TAG products offers geofencing (GPS location data) however, can be used in conjunction with virtual fencing for cattle tracking, helping to enable more controlled grazing practices and improve land utilisation. When used as part of a virtual livestock fencing system, CERES TAG devices can enhance management by using accurate behavioural and location data to guide livestock movement. Although CERES TAG devices do not have virtual fencing on board, combining this technology with a virtual fencing system strengthens grazing efficiency and complements existing strategies producers rely on for sustainable operations.

GPS Identification and Traceability

A CERES TAG GPS animal identification system works alongside advanced identification and monitoring tools to strengthen herd traceability. The integration with ear tags for animal traceability and other livestock GPS tracking devices allows producers to maintain accurate records, monitor livestock health and meet rising transparency expectations.
