The Modules
Fertility
The Fertility Module is more than just the most accurate heat detection system on the market, it helps to identify peak heats, silent heats, pregnant cows, abortions and so much more.
Combine this with Auto Drafting features and you will have the easiest mating season ever.
Health
The Health Module alerts you to diseases such as mastitis, milk fever, lameness. Allowing great insights through the data graphs you can begin to see patterns in your herd and accurately assess many conditions from this graph.
This module also gives you the ability to monitor treatment progression during the recovery stages.
Nutrition
The Nutrition Module is a game changer for those looking to optimise herd-performance with insights in eating and rumination time. Its unique Transition Monitor identifies dry cows at risk weeks before calving.
The ear temperature measurement combined with the behavior warns you for heat stress in an early stage. Early intervention and optimalisation in feed and management prevents losses and results in a healthier and more productive herd.

Testimonials

Raymond Goggin
‘CowManager has helped my herd’s fertility by giving me accurate heat alerts. I have been able to improve the timing of AI this past spring, and this has been a major factor in improving my conception to first service, which is at 78%. The herd has a 94% pregancy rate after a breeding season of 8 weeks of 100% AI. Fertility has always been a priority on my farm, and CowManager has helped me fine tune my system’

Barry O'Mahony
‘We initially wanted a system that would allow us monitor our heifers on an out farm, but when we started researching our options, we saw the benefits CowManager could bring to our herd as a whole. We found that CowManager was unique in the marketplace. Its rumination, eating, activity, resting and temperature monitoring mean that it is in a league of its own. Managing fresh cow’s health in a block calving system can be difficult, but CowManager makes it easy.’

Michael McCormack
‘We installed CowManager in February 2018 and haven’t looked back since. The installation was very straightforward, the lads came and tagged all the cows, and set up all the antennae. It’s brilliant the way the whole system is wireless, so there was no laying cables or tearing up concrete in the yard. We chose CowManager because we liked the fact that it’s an ear tag system. It’s very easy to swap a tag from a cull cow to a new heifer coming into the herd. It’s like having another person in the yard with the cows constantly.’

Winston Bennett
‘I installed CowManager because we were missing too many heats with visual heat detection, particularly when cows were indoors during the winter. We were also using stock bulls for breeding replacements and I wanted to eliminate them to make the farm safer. Since installing CowManager we have come to rely on it 100%. The major benefit of CowManager for us is that it takes the guess work out of breeding our cows. CowManager tells us the exact optimum time to AI, which is very useful.’
