smaXtec helps you turn reaction into prevention. Catch diseases days before symptoms appear and act earlier, reducing treatment costs by up to 70%. From milk fever and ketosis to mastitis or pneumonia, smaXtec empowers you to treat issues as early as possible and keep your cows healthy.
Unique Data as the Foundation
Only smaXtec measures the gold standard of health monitoring: internal body temperature. Combined with other valuable data points, it provides the most comprehensive insight into your herd. The system is easy to install, the software is simple to use, continuously expanded with new features, and integrates with many leading herd management programs.
Based on this unique data foundation, Artificial Intelligence detects changes and patterns early, accurately classifies abnormalities, and supports better herd management decisions. At smaXtec, Artificial Intelligence is not an add-on feature; it has been a core element of system development for many years and the foundation for continuous innovation. The result is an intelligent health management system that goes far beyond traditional monitoring and gives farmers greater confidence in their daily decision-making.
smaXtec takes reproduction management to the next level. Reliable heat detection with insemination timing window recommendations helps boost reproductive succes.
Receive alerts ~ 15 hours before calving allowing time to move animals, provide preventative care and intervene if needed. Continuous monitoring from within enables the early detection of potential problems, like diseases, abortions or fertility issues, helping ensure a healthier transition period.
Feed contamination, poor feed quality and feeding errors can be life threatening for cows. With rumination data directly from the reticulum, you can immediately detect many types of changes or problems related to feeding. The smaXtec feeding tool gives you a perfect overview of your feeding groups.
For targeted optimization of feeding, check out the smaXtec pH bolus.
The transition phase is crucial for a cow's performance. With smaXtec, you can optimally monitor the period around calving and intervene in the event of even the smallest irregularities. This ensures that the cow has the best possible start to her lactation.
smaXtec provides actionable insights so you can plan efficiently, react as early as possible and save valuable time. The system allows you to focus on the cows that need attention while structured task lists tailored to your management, found in the smaXtec Digital Assistant, simplify your routine.
You’re never on your own with smaXtec. From your first conversation through everyday farm use, our local team of experts are here to help every step of the way. With tailored support, local events, webinars and the digital smaXtec Academy, we empower you to deepen your expertise and continuously optimize herd management.
No matter your farm size or set up, smaXtec is ready to help you take your herd to the next level. With precise data, early insights and proven results, smaXtec empowers you to work proactively and improve herd health for a profitable and sustainable future.
The first sign of a developing disease is typically a change in body temperature. Located in the reticulum, the smaXtec bolus can measure the slightest changes in temperature (±0.018 °F accuracy), long before visible symptoms appear. This gives you time to intervene early and limit clinical disease progression.
There’s no milk without water. smaXtec is the only system that measures individual water intake and drinking cycles, showing you how often and how much your cows are drinking. This helps you monitor drinking behavior and ensure an optimal water supply to support high milk yields.
Rumination behavior provides insight into animal health and feeding. By measuring directly in the reticulum, smaXtec delivers precise data for informed feeding decisions. Combined with internal temperature, smaXtec enables the earliest possible disease detection so you can catch health problems before performance is affected.
Activity monitoring is an important parameter that helps detect heats accurately and spot problems, like lameness, early, helping you ensure your cows remain healthy, become pregnant and stay in the herd longer.
The pH value in the rumen is a key factor for your cows’ digestion and health. Unlike rumination activity, it is almost exclusively influenced by feed management, making it the best parameter to evaluate and optimize feeding. Only smaXtec offers continuous monitoring directly inside the animal with the unique pH bolus.
The secret behind smaXtec’s success is the direct combination of precise data and Artificial Intelligence. For smaXtec, Artificial Intelligence is not an additional feature but the foundation of the entire system. This creates real added value for dairy farms.

Our pregnancy rate – it’s now shooting for 30% in just the last two and a half years.
Now with the system, we can also see for each individual animal whether it is doing well or not.
smaXtec has really helped us up our game in animal health.
It’s a sensible, smart investment. smaXtec is truly worth its weight in gold!
smaXtec is an all-round system, and I am fascinated by what this little device can do.
I personally think that smaXtec is second to none when it comes to heat detection and cow health.
One of the biggest benefits to having the calving alerts is the amount of straw I am saving in the pre-fresh pens. We are using 60-70% less straw by simply moving cows into the pen once the system provides the calving notification.
We recently analyzed our cull rates for our dairy, comparing our last year before investing in smaXtec in 2021 with this past year (2023). With smaXtec, we are seeing a 7.8 ROI just from the improvements on cull rates.
We’ve been able to identify mastitis or ketosis in the cows before the staff members can actually visibly see the symptoms in the parlor. Being able to identify that, has been really helpful.
Using the smaXtec system has allowed us to empower our employees to learn how to go about properly diagnosing cows.
We started with a pregnancy rate that met our goals. Adding the smaXtec heat detection capabilities lowered our days open and repro cull rate even lower.
Before using the smaXtec system, we had consistently been running at 100,000 SCC, and after 6 months, we now run 80,000 SCC.
