What happy smaXtec customers say
Dan Lauderdale
smaXtec customer from Wisconsin
‘The biggest benefit to having the smaXtec system is that we are catching sick cows and problem cows much earlier than we did in the past. It is exciting technology. Now that we have it, I couldn’t imagine going without it. smaXtec is a constant source of information – and it is accurate.’
Better earlier. With smaXtec.
smaXtec enables prevention through early detection. We support you with:
• Earliest possible detection of changes in the state of health
• Immediate notification at first signs of fever or metabolic diseases
• Reduced usage of medication like antibiotics (up to 70%)
• Significant increase in animal health
HEAT DETECTION
• Precise heat detection (over 90%) incl. recommended insemination time reduces the need for hormon programs
• Improvement of conception rates and shorter calving intervals
• Fast identification of fertility problems
CALVING DETECTION
• Reliable and early detection calvings
• Sufficient time for preparation thanks to early notification (on average 15h before calving)
• Prevention of serious complications in the critical period around calving
• Time- and location- independent monitoring of your animals
• Elimination of time-consuming routine work such as taking temperature or visual oestrus monitoring
• Integration with existing herd management systems
• Use of the data by other people (employees, veterinarians, …) free of charge
• Support from agricultural experts
What is so special about the smaXtec technology
smaXtec measures directly in the reticulum. Why is this the most suitable location? Because reticulum and rumen are the motor of the cow and signs of any changes first occur there.
This is why smaXtec detects diseases, signs of oestrus and onset of calving earliest possible. Farmers who are informed at an early stage can take precautionary measures and thus save costs, reduce diseases, and optimise heat detection and calving processesbetter than ever before.

How it works:
increased success with smaXtec
Knowledge is the key to success! Thanks to valuable insights and recommended actions you know more than ever. smaXtec helps you to better understand your cows and enhance your herd management. This is how it works.
smaXtec boluses continuously collect data
smaXtec boluses measure inner body temperature, drinking cycles and water intake, rumination activity via reticulum contractions, movement activity, and optionally pH value directly in the reticulum. The boluses are administered once and require no maintenance at all.
Read-out devices automatically transmit data
The smaXtec Base Station automatically reads the data and transmits it via integrated internet connection to the smaXtec Cloud TruD™. The Climate Sensor provides additional information on outside temperature, humidity, and air pressure in the barn. You only need a power outlet. After the simple installation, the system is completely maintenance-free.
Comprehensive data analysis
In the smaXtec Cloud TruD™, the data is analysed using artificial intelligence (AI) and proven algorithms.
Access data anytime and anywhere
You can access the clearly structured information and to-do lists on your smartphone and PC and choose what notifications you want to receive. By connecting with the herd management program, data is automatically exchanged.
Make your workday easier
The smaXtec support team provides you with the best advice at all times – by phone and on-site. This enables you to take the right measures at the right time, optimise animal welfare, cooperation with advisors and veterinarians, and make your farm future-proof!
Research approves the buzz!
In addition to valuable research studies conducted by the Oregon State University, University of Kentucky and the William Miner Agricultural Research Institute, smaXtec is now also exclusive bolus partner to the SmartHolstein Lab.
