Smart cow collars and tags generate a wealth of valuable data that often goes unused as it takes specialised analytical knowledge to decipher it.
There is a huge opportunity to use the data from your animal monitoring system to gain a better understanding of your specific farm operation, manage your cows more efficiently and review choices made throughout the season.
The CowSmart team is supported by over 50 years of veterinary experience.
It includes senior veterinarians and data analysts so you can be assured that the reports you receive are accurate and reliable.
