Deviation from the 10-day average can indicate health problems and animals that may need additional care, according to the company.
This system can also help identify misgrouped animals on an operation. The reports are sent immediately to the producer’s device of choice for analysis.
The product is included in the company’s recently launched Calf to Calf program, which offers producers a 12-month zero-percent financing option that provides the complete electronic heat-detection system along with two free blood pregnancy tests per animal.
