Technology

The system works by gluing a small, radio transmitter with a pressure sensor on the tailhead of the cow. When a cow is mounted, information on that mount is sent to a small radio receiver and then down into the producer’s PC.

HeatWatch II software delivers, at any time, all the mounting activity of any animal wearing a transmitter. It displays all cows in heat, coming into heat, and the precise time of heat onset.

Information in the system allows producers to retrieve heat activity of past estrus cycles, and to record information on breeding activity (inseminator, time of insemination, sire used, rebreeds, etc.).

There is literally no one using the system that will not say it is one of the best investments they have made in their A.I. program and provides one of the quickest returns they have ever experienced.

HeatWatch II is first and foremost a tremendous aid in the accurate, efficient, reliable detection of estrus activity in cows/heifers. It enables producers to very accurately inseminate and manage their cattle reproductive program.

1.  As mounting activity occurs, a radio frequency transmitter on the cows tailheads sends mounting data to a Base Station. There is a 12 mount memory built into the transmitter so any mounting activity on the far side of a hill is remembered until she comes back into line of sight. 2.  The receiver collects and transmits data from up to 1/2 mile away on each cow to your personal computer. Plus, the system can be designed to cover greater distances, provide remote access and portability too. 3.  The information is stored in the Base Station until you open the HeatWatch II software, then the information is downloaded.

When mounting begins, a receiver collects and transmits mounting information to your personal computer (PC).

All you do is pull up your HeatWatch II software program and all the data you need is there. It tells you which cows were mounted and when. It's very powerful and easy!
