My life has become easier as this system has reduced labor cost, manual intervention and guesswork for identifying heat and health status of individual cow and group. The accuracy of detecting heat is highly reliable to take reproduction decision. Also, with Sensehub mobile app, my farm is now on my palm. I recommend SenseHub Cow monitoring system for all my dairy farmer friends”
