Heat42 - Heat Detection System

If you want to detect heat and get instantly informed of a hidden heat is detected, an insemination results in success, or a abortion event, when the latter actually takes place, MilkingCloud and Actimoo represent the ideal pair as a marvellous herd tracking application tailored for these operations.

How does It Work?

The spedometer device accumulates data on all activities performed by the animal to which it is physically attached, according to a certain algorithm. It transposes the data on the antenna system with which it communicates at certain intervals.

It works not solely relying on the number of steps, but detecting all movements of the animal. Thereby it is capable of detecting activity for animals getting upset where they are standing. This method is more efficient when used in support of observation method.

This modus operandi continues for 24 hours. By the time data arrives, the computer system will examine the previous habitual activity patterns of a particular animal, and issues a decision as to whether any symptoms of heat are present. Thereby it becomes possible for the system to effectively handle any symptoms of heat instantly.The result of symptomatic test will be revealed in an info note in an e-mail or SMS text message directed to the user or farm management.

Actimoo keeps a close track of differences in activities of farm animals, like increased activity and the mounting behaviour during heat. If the different activity than usual keeps continuing for a definite period of time, it automatically generates and sends messages through SMS to the farm/ranch owner.Detection of heat requires tracking of tens of varying parameters, depending on animal health and farm applications. A visual check should absolutely be performed on the animal whenever Actimoo warnings are received. Actimoo's rate of success varies in a range of 80 to 95%, depending on farm standards and animal's health.
