All of this comes through direct-to-satellite technology, meaning no network setup, no infrastructure, and no hassle. Just register, charge, activate, and start managing smarter - from anywhere, on any device.

Unlock the Power of Animal Behaviour with CERES RANCHER and Pasture Feed Intake

CERES RANCHER helps you understand how your animals are using the pasture - so you can make smarter, more profitable decisions.

With daily Pasture Feed Intake (PFI) summaries, you’ll see exactly how much time your animals spend grazing, walking, ruminating, resting, and drinking - down to the minute. It also estimates how much pasture they're eating and how much methane they’re producing.

You can view this data by individual animal or the whole herd, with insights across the last 24 hours or over the past week. This helps you spot trends, track animal health, and improve performance over time.

By understanding animal behaviour and feed intake, you can lift productivity and make every hectare work harder.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I access Pasture Feed Intake Data?

All CERES RANCHER, RANCH and TRACE devices sold after the 19th of April 2023 will have PFI as a standard capability. You will be able to access this data through your fully integrated software partner.

Do I have to tag every animal?

You don't need to tag every animal to get the insights you need! You can tag strategically and benchmark the herd or mob to receive location, behaviour, and welfare insights for all animals. The more tags you have on animals, the more insights you receive about your herd, which gives you more power to make decisions about productivity and profitability.

  • Giraffe Conservation Foundation

    "We have been impressed so far and do hope that the initial results will continue as it has the potential to have significant value for our ongoing wildlife conservation efforts. As we support monitoring all four giraffe species across their range in Africa, including individuals translocated to new areas or other regions of political unrest, being able to track giraffe greatly aids the conservation management we can undertake."
