With smaXtec, you can optimise your dairy farming step by step. From reduced vet costs to increased milk yield and improved heat detection. These seven reasons show how preventative health management helps you reach higher goals.
In modern dairy farming, every day counts – not only for animal welfare but also for economic success. If you’re still waiting for visible symptoms in disease detection, you’re losing time, money, and milk yield. smaXtec enables true preventative health management – precise, reliable, and future-proof. Here are seven reasons why smaXtec is a smart financial investment for your wallet (and your farm):
With smaXtec, you continuously measure the internal body temperature of your cows with an accuracy of ± 0.01 °C. This allows you to detect diseases such as mastitis, ketosis, or pneumonia long before external symptoms appear. And thanks to the innovative TruAdvice® technology, you even receive specific alerts for suspected diseases enabling you to act as early as possible. This improves herd health and milk yield, lowers treatment costs, and saves time in daily routines.
With smaXtec, you can identify diseases at the first immune response so you can intervene early. When diseases like milk fever and ketosis are treated promptly, you create the foundation for optimal milk yield and maximum profitability. Less discarded milk and higher yields from healthier herds directly benefit your bottom line.
smaXtec detects heats with maximum accuracy, informs you of the ideal insemination time, and clearly shows this within the insemination window. Even silent heats are reliably identified. The result: higher conception rates and optimised calving intervals. In short, smaXtec increases reproductive success and enhances your entire reproduction management – around the clock, all year long.
smaXtec users report significantly lower veterinary costs and fewer production losses. By treating cows at the first immune response, a garlic bolus or anti-inflammatory is often all that’s needed. This helps reduce veterinary costs and antibiotic use – and also limits discarded milk. “Since we started using smaXtec, we’ve reduced our antibiotic use by 80%”, confirms farmer Eise Tonnis de Vries.
Changes in drinking behaviour or water intake can be early warning signs of feeding errors or metabolic disorders. smaXtec alerts you in time, so you can intervene immediately if needed. This lets you use your resources more efficiently while optimizing feeding management. With the feeding tool, you always keep a close eye on rumination activity. You can immediately notice deviations in rumination time as well as trends or daily fluctuations – enabling you to respond proactively. In addition, the pH bolus can be used to identify and adjust any feeding problems.
With smaXtec, you always have everything under control: automated to‑do lists, a comprehensive health management system, TruAdvice® alerts, and highly reliable heat detection make daily organisation simpler and more efficient. Monitoring heats and taking temperatures becomes a thing of the past – a huge time and cost saver, especially on larger farms.
With smaXtec, you get more than innovative technology. You also gain access to a dedicated team of experts. From personal onboarding to regular training through the digital smaXtec Academy, you and your team keep learning, make well-informed decisions, and lay the foundation for healthier cows, smoother workflows, and significantly improved business results.
Conclusion:
Preventative health management is not a luxury, it’s the foundation of economically successful dairy farming. Investing in a preventative system pays off quickly. With smaXtec, you identify issues before they become costly.
