Viking Danmark, SenseHub® Youngstock, for monitoring calves from birth to 12 months.

Product description:

Using the SenseHub® Youngstock ear tag, automatic health monitoring of group-housed calves is possible from the first day of life until they are 12 months old. Changes in sucking activity, physical activity, eating time, and rumination are recorded via the electronic ear tag, and alerts are sent through reports if challenges are detected. This enables the early detection of health problems and the prevention of disease development even before visible symptoms appear. Data is exchanged with DMS.

Expert description:

Stand-alone system for monitoring calves and young heifers from birth up to 12 months. The company already markets a similar system for monitoring cows and older heifers. The animals' activity, among other things, is recorded using an electronic ear tag, which can track physical activity, eating time, sucking activity in milk-fed calves, and rumination.

This enables the recording of drinking times for group-housed calves fed milk in troughs or bowls. The automatic monitoring allows for the detection of health issues and the prevention of disease development even before visible symptoms appear. There is data exchange with DMS.

The ear tag includes an LED indicator light that can be automatically or manually activated to blink at different speeds, making it easier to identify calves requiring special attention. The ear tag can remain on the calf for life as the application automatically transitions through life stages to heifer and later to cow.
