With the help of smaXtec, Mark Tobin was able to truly transform his dairy farm to a more profitable and sustainable one.

Herd size: 64 cows

Mark Tobin, a farmer in Cahir, Tipperary, Ireland was able to truly transform his dairy farm with 64 cows to a more profitable and sustainable one.
At the time of the smaXtec installation, the calving season was still ongoing, with a small percentage of cows yet to calve. Despite this, 56 cows out of 64 were successfully inseminated within the first three weeks of the breeding season, achieving a remarkable submission rate of 87.5%.
Thanks to the accurate health monitoring system he was able to reduce costs while improving his herd management.
