Reproduction

Accurately monitor reproduction

Effectively manage reproduction on your farm with precise heat detection and calving alerts.

Optimize your herd's reproductive success with smaXtec

Successful reproduction performance is essential for a profitable dairy farm. Through smaXtec’s unique health monitoring, you build the foundation for a productive herd and long-term success. With accurate heat detection, abortion detection and early calving alerts, smaXtec gives you the insights you need to optimize reproduction and fertility management.

Heat detection

Detect heatswith smaXtec

Never miss a heat again with precise, reliable and automated heat detection. Know exactly when each cow should be inseminated to increase your herd’s reproductive success.

Today’s dairy cows show shorter and weaker signs of heats, often at night. This makes visual observation time-consuming, staff-intenstive and easy to miss. Heats can be overlooked simply because there isn’t enough time or labor to monitor every cow closely.

smaXtec helps you avoid costs associated with missed heats by reliably detecting heats and providing you with additional information on the ideal time for insemination and heat index, ensuring better results with less effort.

Better timing starts withprecise detection

Optimal calving intervals
Higher pregnancy rates
Lower insemination costs and better productivity
Fewer hormone treatments
More time for other tasks
Early identification of fertility problems

How smaXtec's heat detection works

smaXtec detects heats based on changes in cow behavior (e.g. activity and rumination). The system analyzes the behavior of these parameters and suggests an insemination window when a heat is detected.

smaXtec shows you the optimal time for insemination, indicates when the probability of success descreases and highlights when insemination is not recommended.

Recognize fertilityproblems quickly

Digital, continuous heat detection provides another advantage – an overview of each cow’s fertility status and immediately highlights irregular cycles. This enables quick action and helps you improve herd fertility.

Recognize abortions early

For efficient, targeted monitoring, all animals with a conspicuous cycle are collected on a list. Early detection of abortions saves time and increases profitability. This allows you to improve fertility figures through rapid re-insemination.

Calving

Reliablecalving detection

smaXtec lets you know when to expect a calf. Early alerts give you time to prepare, provide support if needed and even identify possible twin births.

How does the smaXtec system know a cow will give birth within 15 hours? The system recognizes an imminent calving by a slight drop in internal body temperature, a widely recognized and scientifically proven indicator that a cow will freshen soon.

By recognizing this early temperature change, smaXtec detects calvings early and alerts you about 15 hours in advance.
