Pneumonia in cattle often goes undetected for too long – and can lead to significant financial losses. smaXtec identifies the condition before clinical symptoms appear, enabling early intervention. This helps prevent long-term damage while reliably safeguarding the health and performance of your cows.

Milk fever is one of the most common metabolic disorders in dairy cows. Triggered by calcium deficiency or a disruption in calcium metabolism, milk fever often occurs during the critical period following calving, but it can also be an indication of a herd-level problem.

Milk loss, fertility problems and veterinary expenses are the real consequences of mastitis. Clinical cases can quickly result in costs of up to £650 / €750 per cow. smaXtec detects mastitis before any visible symptoms appear, protecting your cows, your peace of mind and your bottom line.

Are you still relying on an automatic milking system for early disease detection? Then you often only notice illnesses like mastitis when it’s already too late. With smaXtec, you are right on time.

After a year of working on dairy farms in New Zealand, Aisling Downey, smaXtec Sales Representative for Northern Ireland, has returned to the UK with fresh energy, valuable insights – and a clear message for farmers back home: technology like smaXtec isn’t just useful, it’s essential.

Innovative technologies help optimise milk production while simultaneously reducing CO₂ emissions. This has been demonstrated in a joint best-practice project by Krone, Siloking and smaXtec. A practical trial on the Jünck dairy farm in North Rhine-Westphalia delivered impressive results.

Modern dairy farming requires a system that not only informs farmers but actively helps them prevent diseases before they even develop. This is exactly where the smaXtec health management system comes in. As the world's most comprehensive system, it stands for true preventive health management.
