Boosting Reproductive Success with smaXtec 🐄 The transition period is critical to a herd's overall health and productivity. smaXtec’s advanced health management system gives farmers the ability to intervene early — before symptoms appear — improving health outcomes and reproductive performance. 📊 Real Results: One of our users, Eric Kocourek, owner of a 1,000-cow dairy farm near Green Bay, WI, has reported incredible improvements within the first six months of using smaXtec after switching from a collar system. Thanks to smaXtec’s inner measurements: • 📉 30 & 60 day cull rates dropped by ~40 % (down to 4.77 % and 7.12 %) • 📈 First service conception rate improved by 4.9 % • 🐄 Pregnancy rate increased by 3.9 % Early intervention during the transition period makes all the difference. It not only improves herd health but also boosts reproductive success — key to long-term dairy farm sustainability.

By using smaXtec, we empower farmers globally to reveal their hidden potential and fully utilize their resources! 🌍 Because our health management system not only enables early detection of potential health problems and any secondary diseases but also identifies feeding errors and other operational mistakes. This allows farmers from all over the world to maximize milk yield and profitability. 🥛 Natasha Sutherland, dairy farmer at Stein Farm, illustrates how smaXtec is transforming farm management. The smaXtec system has empowered her to manage her farm with greater efficiency than ever before: “We didn’t know what we didn’t know. Now that we have smaXtec in our cows, the sheer amount of data that we’re receiving has been instrumental in helping us to understand what it’s going to take to move forward, to be a more productive, more effective herd. Now that I know, I don’t think I could ever go backwards.” 👩🌾 Examples like this show how our health management system not only improves animal health but also revolutionizes the management on farms worldwide. The insights provided by our technology are often key to identifying undetected issues and thus ensuring sustainable success. 🚀

At smaXtec, we’ve developed a truly groundbreaking technology that’s revolutionizing dairy farming: TruDrinking™️. For the first time ever, farmers can now accurately measure the exact amount of water consumed by each individual cow. 🐮💧 But why is this so critical? Because water intake is a key early indicator of milk production, and with milk being 87 % water, ensuring cows are properly supplied with water is essential for maintaining high milk yields. 🥛 By leveraging artificial intelligence, TruDrinking™️ monitors water intake and drinking cycles, allowing farmers to gain invaluable insights into the health and well-being of their herd. From early disease detection to optimized water supply around calving, our technology enables farmers to take proactive steps that ensure healthier cows and more consistent milk production. 📊 TruDrinking™️ also reduces the workload on farms by identifying faulty water troughs and water quality issues before they become major problems. This means farmers can spend less time troubleshooting and more time focusing on what matters most: the health and productivity of their herd! 🐄
