Our involuntary cull rate has also reduced significantly. We’ve gone from about 5.5% to around 2% over the first 12 months of using smaXtec.
Johnny Lochhead
Scotland, Dumfries, 70 cows
Our calving interval is reduced by over 30 days in the last 12 months. And that’s probably on around 50% of services without seeing standing heat on cows as well.

Clear, practical insights on mastitis & more – thanks to the smaXtec Academy.
At Newfield Farm in Dumfriesshire, UK, farmer Owen Brown decided to install the smaXtec system in 2023 – looking after 122 cows with dedication and care.
When Owen Brown joined the smaXtec academy, he quickly discovered how much easier it became to dive deeper into complex health topics:
“The smaXtec academy provides in-depth knowledge on a range of subjects surrounding cow welfare and health. The courses are well-structured and easy to follow, making complex topics such as mastitis understandable.”
When knowledge and technology go hand in hand, both farmers and cows thrive.
“It is a really useful tool for helping to get the most out of our smaXtec system,” Owen Brown states.

Picking up Pneumonia early, preventing serious health issues.
David Thompson runs a dairy farm with 300 cows, where he installed the smaXtec system in early June 2024, just before the calving season began. This decision quickly paid off, particularly when it came to monitoring the health and reproduction of his herd.
By separating his young cows – those in their first lactation –from the main herd, the farmer noticed an immediate improvement in rumination times, reduced stress during mating and more accurate timing for inseminations.
“Having the data coming through for the first time without having to do all the hard work takes a lot of stress off, especially with mating. It’s made a real difference in how I manage my herd,” the farmer says.
The smaXtec system enabled David Thompson to quickly identify health issues, when one cow showed temperature alerts, prompting him to call his vet. The vet diagnosed pneumonia early.
“I wouldn’t have known otherwise. It picked it up 3-4 days earlier than I would have noticed,” the farmer explains.
