Feed-O-Meter Feeding Behavior Monitoring System

Melissa SandfortAgribusiness, Animal Health, Feed

AnimartANIMART, Inc. announces the recent addition of Feed-O-Meter™ to the Track a))) Cow™ electronic heat detection system. Feed-O-Meter™ creates a 10-day behavior history measuring feeding behavior including visits to and total amount of time spent at the feed bunk. Deviation from the 10 day average can indicate health problems and animals that may need additional care. This system can also help identify mis-grouped animals on an operation. These reports are sent immediately to producers’ device of choice for analysis.

Feeding behavior monitoring is essential to providing a complete cow monitoring program for the producer. Indicating health concerns, detecting disease and predicting future rumination activity can help a producer lower costs on their dairy while keeping cows healthy.

Feed-O-Meter™ is included in ANIMART’s recently launched Calf to Calf™ program. The Calf to Calf™ program offers producers a 12 month 0% financing option which provides the complete Track a))) Cow™ electronic heat detection system along with two FREE blood pregnancy tests per animal.
