SmartBolus™ System


The SmartBolus™ system enables several health monitoring capabilities for dairy herds.  Because the data is collected internally, you don't have to worry about sensors getting bumped and knocked off the animal.

Automated Temperature Monitoring

Monitoring the health of fresh cows for ten days after calving has been shown to provide very positive returns in terms of herd health and milk yield.  With the SmartBolus™ system, monitoring your cows becomes as simple as looking at a computer report each morning. Not only can you monitor your fresh cows with ease, now you can monitor your cows in the close-up pen or throughout the lactation, letting the computer alert you only when an exception reading occurs.



Heat Detection (estrus) Reporting

Internal motion sensors allow the SmartBolus™ system to provide heat detection reporting. A straight forward report will alert you to those cows whose movement scores indicate they are in heat allowing you to catch those missed heats and improve your pregnancy rates.



  
Calving Alert
The SmartBolus™ system can provide a calving alert.  The data transmitted from the cow indicates when she is likely to calve.  This information can be very helpful, allowing the dairy to monitor a cow more closely and potentially avoid a lost calf in the case of a difficult birth.


Balling gun (pill popper) for SmartBolus™

We use a standard metal balling gun with a custom sleeve to fit the SmartBolus™.




Wireless Air Temperature Sensor

The TenXsys Wireless Air Temperature Sensor gathers air temperature information from a pen or barn, and transmits this data to a computer running the TenXsys Bovine Health System.
