“We were surprised how much our herd health costs have gone down since switching to smaXtec."
Chad Butts from Willow Breeze Farm in Homer, New York, has been using the smaXtec system for two years on his 800-cow herd.

“We were surprised how much our herd health costs have gone down since switching to smaXtec. Annual herd health expenses are down 40% from where they were before smaXtec. We are treating fewer cows and are able to quickly assess the effectiveness of the treatment”, Chad reveals.

Lameness diagnosed at an early stage by the smaXtec system

With the help of smaXtec, lameness was detected. The cow only had an increased normal temperature, whereupon the farmer tested the milk for mastitis. However, the test was negative. In the evening, he then examined the cow’s hooves and eventually found the cause. If the customer had not discovered the lameness thanks to smaXtec, sole ulcers, sole tip ulcers and white line abscesses or purulent leather skin infections could have developed within a short time.
