Bolus is not possible for cows under the age of 18 months and/or weighing less than
450 kg.
smaXtec pH Plus
With smaXtec pH Plus you can – in addition to the functions included in smaXtec
Classic – also measure rumen pH, enabling optimised feed and health management
and improving the health status of your herd. A certain percentage of the herd is
fitted with a pH Plus Bolus, providing measurement data which is representative for
the group. The remaining animals are fitted with a Classic Bolus for individual
monitoring.
The pH Plus Bolus is designed to provide continuous monitoring of rumen pH and
temperature as well as activity levels of cows. The measured data is saved in the pH
Plus Bolus and automatically transmitted via the wireless network to the smaXtec
Base Station or to a smaXtec Repeater. Due to the dimensions, use of the pH Plus
Bolus is not possible for cows under the age of 18 months and/or weighing less than
450 kg.
Infrastructure
The smaXtec Base Station automatically receives the relevant data in real-time.
The data is transmitted to the server and stored in the online database. The smaXtec
Base Station automatically receives the data from the various smaXtec sensors.
smaXtec Repeaters can be used to extend the network range.
The smaXtec Repeater is designed to extend the range of the smaXtec Base
Station and is recommended for use in certain configurations in order to cover
remote areas of the cow shed. It provides an easy-to-use and cost-efficient extension
of the smaXtec wireless network and communication with the smaXtec Sensors.
The smaXtec Climate Sensor is designed to provide continuous measurement of
environmental factors such as ambient temperature and humidity levels. This data is
automatically transmitted via the wireless network to the smaXtec Base Station or to
