Why Choose HerdTrack?
HerdTrack helps farmers streamline livestock management and increase operational efficiency by addressing common challenges in modern farming.
Traceability
The system enables comprehensive traceability of each livestock unit from the moment of tagging, enhancing transparency, theft-prevention and biosecurity. When an animal is tagged, its entire movement and presence history across different scanning points is logged and an auditable timeline of its whereabouts is provided. When a farmer or producer intends to sell or slaughter an animal, the device generates detailed ownership or livestock traceability reports of all recorded scans, proving both the origin and chain of custody of the animal.
Real-Time Livestock Monitoring
Track the presence of individual animals, herds, or groups at specific farm locations. View daily scan reports indicating whether an animal was detected (green) or missing (red) and get 24-hour activity breakdowns showing exactly when an animal was last seen.
Health & Behaviour Alerts
Detect unusual behaviour patterns, such as changes in feeding or drinking schedules, which may indicate illness or distress. Receive alerts if an animal is missing for a user-defined period and set up custom alerts for specific animals requiring closer monitoring.
Water Level Monitoring
Monitor water levels in dams and troughs remotely. Set alerts for low water levels and configure allowable time before triggering an alarm. Ensure optimal hydration for livestock and reduce manual checks.
Automated Livestock Sorting & Containment
Assign specific animals to trigger gates when detected, allowing for automated separation of targeted livestock. Use color-coded grouping to classify animals based on herds, locations, or management criteria.
Digital Record-Keeping for Veterinary Care
Maintain detailed records of vaccinations, medications, and treatments administered. Set reminders for repeat treatments and track dosages. Log calf weights and growth rates with visual data analysis, and easily manage weaning, pregnancy tracking, and animal retirement.
Worker Activity Logging
Issue RFID tags to farm workers to log their presence at specific locations. Monitor water point visits, livestock checks, and farm activities for better accountability.
