For mastitis, we generally get a temperature alert two days before you see any sign in the milking parlour.David Tait UK, 110 cows
In a consultation meeting, you’ll learn about the smaXtec system and discuss how it can be implemented on your farm.
Our sales and customer support team will determine the right number of devices with you. This way, we ensure that sensor data is read out continuously and you always access the latest information about your herd.
A member of the smaXtec team will do all necessary preparations with you. He or she will install the read-out devices, support you with bolus administration and sets up your smaXtec account. Afterwards, you can already access your cow data.
After installation, our customer support team will call you a few times to introduce you to the different functions of the smaXtec system. You will adjust settings according to your needs and clarify all open questions.
Of course, the customer support team will further accompany you when the first phase with smaXtec is over. Whenever you have questions, you can get in touch with us via email, phone or directly in the smaXtec software. Our team is looking forward to supporting you and will ensure that you make best possible use of your smaXtec system.
With smaXtec, our fertility results have improved and our calving interval has been reduced from 415 days to below 400 days.
We’ve been able to identify mastitis or ketosis in the cows before the staff members can actually visibly see the symptoms in the parlour. Being able to identify that, has been really helpful.
We were breeding 75% of shots before, but now with smaXtec we reduced our shot usage by 75% and our hormone usage has decreased by 70%.
In terms of reduced antibiotic usage in the cows, I’d say I’ve reduced my intramammary usage by about a third.
Cows get sick all the time. However, with smaXtec they can be detected quickly thanks to modern technology. Early detection means that measures can be taken early to limit the damage.
With smaXtec we can record the temperature of all cows and with the same system we also get informed about imminent calving.
