Last reviewed: December 2025
CowManager SensOor is an ear tag sensor system that monitors eating, rumination, activity, and fertility in real-time for individual cow health management.
Overview
CowManager's SensOor system uses advanced ear tag sensors to monitor individual cow behavior around the clock. The sensors track eating time, rumination, activity levels, and rest patterns, providing a comprehensive view of each cow's daily routine.
The system's strength lies in its ability to detect subtle behavioral changes that indicate health issues or heat events. By monitoring eating and rumination patterns, CowManager can identify cows that may be developing health problems 24-48 hours before clinical symptoms appear.
The platform integrates with major herd management systems, ensuring that sensor data flows seamlessly into existing farm workflows and decision-making processes.
