Every disease has a negative impact on the cow and the farm. With the smaXtec bolus, you can catch dieseases BEFORE physical symptoms appear. This is only possible with smaXtec.
Transform herd healthwith smaXtec
With smaXtec’s bolus technology, you shift from reacting to problems to proactively managing your herd health identifying potential diseases at the earliest stage. A healthier herd performs better, lives longer and, ultimately, puts more milk in the tank.
Early detection
with smaXtec
Every disease exhibits patterns while developing that can be seen in the smaXtec system. This helps you to determine the type of disease it could be before clinical symptoms appear. smaXtec supports you in the early detection of the following diseases:
-
Mastitis -
Subclinical milk fever
-
Pneumonia
-
Subclinical ketosis
-
Metritis
-
Lameness
Reduce costs withproactive treatments
By detecting diseases at the subclinical stage, you can often prevent both the onset of clinical diseases and costly secondary illnesses. This avoids significant expenses, not only for treatment, but also for extra labor, withdrawal periods and reduced milk yield in the current and even the next lactation. With proactive intervention, you can save up to 70% of the costs depending on the disease.
Internal body temperature: the gold standard for early disease detection
A change in body temperature is the first sign of many of the most common diseases in dairy cows, making it the gold standard for reliable early detection. Continuous internal temperature monitoring with the highest degree of accuracy (± 0.018 °F) from smaXtec TruTemp®, allows you to detect diseases before rumination decreases or external signs appear. This head start makes body temperature the most valuable parameter for monitoring and safeguarding herd health.
Additional insights for better health decisions
smaXtec tip: share this data with your veterinarian. Having a snapshot of the current challenge and the cow’s long-term health archive helps you both make faster, more informed decisions.
