The SmaXtec Bolus Sensor monitors core body temperature, health, and reproduction from inside the cow. It provides early alerts for illness, heat, and calving, enabling proactive herd management, improved animal welfare, and higher productivity—all through a smart, cloud-connected platform.
The SmaXtec Bolus Sensor is a revolutionary intra-ruminal monitoring system that provides unparalleled insight into the health, reproduction, and wellbeing of each cow—right from inside the animal. Once orally administered, the sensor remains in the cow’s reticulum and continuously transmits real-time physiological data, enabling proactive and precise dairy management.
Designed for forward-thinking dairy farms, the SmaXtec system delivers early warnings for health issues, optimizes reproduction timing, and improves overall herd performance—boosting productivity while reducing costs.
🌡️ Continuous Internal Temperature Monitoring
The bolus measures core body temperature with unmatched accuracy, enabling early detection of fever, infections, and metabolic issues—even before external symptoms appear.
🩺 Health Event Detection
Automatically alerts farmers to early signs of mastitis, ketosis, lameness, heat stress, and other health problems—often 3 to 4 days before clinical symptoms.
♻️ Precise Heat Detection & Reproduction Monitoring
Tracks subtle changes in temperature and activity to accurately pinpoint the onset of estrus and confirm successful insemination.
💧 Drinking Behavior Monitoring
Identifies changes in water intake, which are early indicators of dehydration, feed issues, or general illness.
📊 Smart Data Analytics
Integrated with a user-friendly software platform that visualizes individual and herd-level data, trends, and alerts in real time.
🐄 Lifetime Intra-Ruminal Placement
Once inserted, the bolus remains safely inside the cow’s forestomach for her entire productive life—no maintenance required.
📲 Cloud-Based Access & Notifications
Monitor herd health from anywhere via smartphone, tablet, or PC, with real-time alerts and intuitive dashboards.
✅ Early Illness Detection – React faster, reduce treatment costs, and prevent production losses.
✅ Improved Reproductive Efficiency – Maximize insemination success and reduce open days.
✅ Higher Animal Welfare – Continuous, non-invasive monitoring supports better cow wellbeing.
✅ Reduced Use of Antibiotics – Early intervention reduces severity of illness and antibiotic dependency.
✅ Data-Driven Management – Make confident decisions based on accurate, real-time physiological data.
The SmaXtec Bolus Sensor is more than just a monitoring tool—it’s a leap forward in precision dairy farming. Trusted by progressive farms worldwide, it helps you keep cows healthier, reproduction cycles tighter, and operations more profitable.
