Features

Enhanced Livestock Management

MicroTraks technology provides real-time tracking of individual animals, allowing producers to monitor their location and behavior remotely. This enables more precise management of grazing patterns, feeding schedules, and overall herd health.

Health Monitoring

The ability to track vital signs and health indicators of cattle helps producers detect illnesses or injuries early on. Timely intervention can prevent the spread of diseases within the herd and minimize the need for extensive veterinary treatments, ultimately reducing mortality rates and improving overall herd health.

Optimized Breeding Programs

By collecting and analyzing data on the reproductive behavior and fertility cycles of individual animals, producers can make informed decisions about breeding programs. MicroTraks technology enables better selection of breeding pairs, leading to improved genetics and higher-quality offspring.

Inventory Management

MicroTraks tags provide accurate records of each animal's identity, age, and health history, facilitating inventory management for producers. This streamlined data collection and organization process can simplify regulatory compliance, such as traceability requirements, and improve overall farm productivity.

Risk Mitigation

MicroTraks technology helps producers mitigate risks associated with theft, predation, or animal welfare issues. With real-time tracking capabilities, producers can quickly locate missing or stray animals, respond to emergencies, and implement security measures to protect their livestock assets.
