CowManager - Ear Sensor
We get it. As a dairy farmer, you want to spend your time as efficiently as possible. CowManager makes your life easier. All it takes is 4 simple steps. Put in the ear sensor, install the (solar) router, receive all the data on your PC or smartphone, integrate your cow management system… and you’re ready to go!
- Ear Sensor. Your cows have an ear for it: accurate information. Our revolutionary ear sensors collect data about your herd’s fertility, health, and nutritional status.
- (Solar) Router. Data is transmitted from the sensors and collected by our wireless routers. These routers can be placed anywhere: in barns, on pasture or in feedlots.
- PC and Smartphone. Receive all the data on your smartphone and computer. Get real-time cow information, 24/7.
- Herd Management System. Our system integrates with herd management systems worldwide. This simplifies herd management, enhancing overall productivity and welfare of cattle.
We were the first cow monitoring system with an ear sensor for cows. We have a lot of dairy farming experience, did years of research, testing, developing, and we update our system’s hardware and software bi-weekly. Our technology gives you extremely accurate information about your herd’s fertility, health, and nutritional status.
The ear sensor fits around an official animal identification RFID tag and stays put thanks to an effective attachment mechanism. In just a single action, you can place the sensor in a cow’s ear. It’s easy to remove and attach to another cow, too. And there’s no need for recharging batteries and adjusting collars. Easy does it!
Our cow tracking system makes dairy farming easier. You’ll be able to check your herd’s well-being, anytime and anywhere. Our always up-to-date cow monitoring system gives you the opportunity to check how your herd is doing, whether you have 20 or 20,000 cows.
Receive alerts on the fertility, health, and nutrition of your cows. Dive into cow data by just opening the CowManager app on your laptop or your smartphone or tablet (iOS or Android). You’ll have all your real-time cow information at your fingertips, wherever you are. Use the MultiView functionality so your herdsperson, veterinarian, nutritionist, and other associates have remote access to selected data as well. That way, you can stay ahead of the herd and use the system to monitor cattle together.
The dashboard is an easy-to-use visual representation of your real-time data to simplify your daily routine. All relevant alerts and insights are displayed in one place through various widgets, including the CowManager Insemination Window.
The drag-and-drop dashboard is fully customizable and displays information from all modules conveniently in one place. Make your own overview of information that’s most important to you and deep dive into cow data with just a single click. All alerts that require attention are available at just a glance on your home screen.

Together we can do better. That’s why we integrate with herd management systems all over the world. Some systems even have a two-way interface with CowManager. It gives dairy farmers the opportunity to see data simultaneously in both systems.
When calculating alerts, we use data from both systems. More information means more detailed alerts and an overall better-informed decision process. These individual cow alerts can drive drafting/sorting gates, making herd management that much easier.
Healthy Herd, Healthy Profit
Get a grip on your cows’ well-being. Is your cow not eating, not ruminating, had a change in behavior or a drop in temperature? Get an alert 1 to 2 days before any signs of clinical illness. Or, if your cow is already sick, monitor recovery in detail.
- Get an alert 1-2 days before signs of clinical illness
- Monitor recovery in detail

- Maximize your pregnancy rates
- Know exactly when a cow is in heat
- Never miss a heat or a non-cycling cow
Identify Cows At-Risk
With 75% of all adult cow diseases occurring in the first 30 days after calving, early intervention is key. Our Transition Monitor revolutionizes dairy farming by identifying at-risk cows up to 50 days before calving. By detecting reduced eating and rumination times, our system alerts producers to cows at higher risk for transition diseases like metritis and ketosis, enabling proactive care.
Optimize Feed Management
Closely monitoring your cows and timely adjustment to your feed strategy and management is essential for successful nutrition and transition management. Our Nutrition Monitor sends alerts for heat stress, group health issues, group stress and low feed intake. We make it as easy as possible. With insights into the behavior of your herd, efficiency is at your fingertips.
Optimize rearing
Boost calf health and farm efficiency with our Artificial Intelligence-powered Youngstock Monitor. Focus on calves requiring extra attention and enhance calf welfare by lowering treatment intensity due to early detection and treatment. Effective calf health management leads to increased future milk production and a healthier, more productive herd.
