2 OVALERT HEAT AND HEALTH MONITORING WITH SIREMATCH INTEGRATION Increasing the effectiveness of the total herd on a dairy farm is a major challenge for dairy farmers worldwide. Fertility results play an important role in this. But where other heat detection systems only count steps, Ovalert goes further. Besides detecting heat expression, Ovalert is able to automatically pick up signals that tell you about each animal s health and well-being. And this has a direct correlation with optimum milk production. Ovalert can also help avoid negative consequences such as drop in milk production or high treatment and mortality costs at the level of the individual animal. Many behavior patterns that could indicate that there is something wrong with an animal are being automatically displayed and visualized via the Ovalert system with integrated health monitoring. Ovalert is available in three versions. The Smarttag Leg with standing and lying monitoring, the Smarttag Neck with eating monitoring and the Smarttag Neck with eating monitoring and cow positioning. With this systems Ovalert enables you to improve your insemination results and check or treat animals with possible health problems in plenty of time, or you can make structural changes to improve your animal management even further. As a livestock farmer you can also save valuable time and achieve and maintain the best possible production results from every animal. No matter how big your herd is. SMARTTAG LEG WITH STANDING AND LYING MONITORING The Smarttag Leg measures the behaviour of the cow, like: The time a cow spends standing still per day The time a cow spends lying per day The time a cow spends walking per day The number of times a cow stands up per day The number of steps a cow takes per day SMARTTAG NECK WITH EATING MONITORING The Smarttag Neck measures the eating behavior of the cow, like: Eating time Eating moment Hours of not eating The Smarttag Neck records the time each day an animal takes in roughage or grazes. Changes in this eating behavior tell you that there is may be something wrong with the animal and that it needs further attention. The neck tag also enables you to keep an extra close eye on your animals during the vulnerable period around calving, when they are more susceptible to diseases due to changes in their environment, feed, energy balance and stress HOURS LYING TIME 11 LYING PERIODS PER DAY STEPS PER DAY SMARTTAG NECK WITH EATING MONITORING AND COW POSITIONING The cow positioning system registers the position of individual animals using the Smarttag neck. The neck tag receives signals from beacons which hang in the barn. The neck tag sends signals to the central antenna. Then the computer calculates the position of each cow with an accuracy of 1 meter. You can easily see the position on your smartphone, tablet or PC. 4-6 HOURS EATING 9-14 MEALS PER DAY 2 OVALERT CRV CRV OVALERT 3

3 OVALERT: HOW DOES IT WORK? 2 When the animals are within the range of the antenna, all data from the Smarttag is collected. 1 The Smarttag registers movement and behaviour of the individual animal. Data of the last 24 hours is stored in the Smarttag. 3 4 The ID controller sends the collected data to the heart of the system: the process controller which analyses the data continually. 5 The results of the analysis can be seen on your smartphone, tablet or pc. The systems immediately sends an alert by heat detection, abnormalities in the eating pattern, abnormalities in the standing-lying behavior or activity. 4 OVALERT CRV CRV OVALERT 5

4 PERFORMANCE INTERFACE Doing the best for the fertility and health of your animals. That is what Performance Interface from CRV creates. This online system from Ovalert gives you, and your employees, a quickly and clearly overview of your entire herd or individual animals. Which animals need attention. Which animals need to be inseminated today? The attentions show abnormalities in the behaviour of your cows. Through a clear interface you get all the attentions of the Smarttag neck and leg. The alerts are also easily shown on your smartphone, tablet or computer. In this way you get a quick overview which animals need attention from you or your employees. SIREMATCH MATING ADVICE With SireMatch integration the system directly can give a mating advice when a cow has to be inseminated. HEAT DETECTION HEALTH AND MANAGEMENT HERD OVERVIEW CHANCE OF CONCEPTION (IN %) OPTIMUM INSEMINATION TIME This screen shows which cows are in heat and have to be inseminated. The black dot shows in which stadium of heat the cow is. In the green graph can be seen when it is the best insemination moment. The Herd overview shows how many attentions there are for the total herd, divided in heat attention alerts and heat suspicious alerts. DURATION OF HEAT IN HOURS HEAT DETECTION OVERVIEW DAY PERIOD NIGHT PERIOD ATTENTION ALERT INSEMINATION ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR This screen shows f.e. that a cow is standing/lying/ eating/walking too much or too less. ANIMAL OVERVIEW Animal overview shows all the details of an individual animal. DATE MIDNIGHT (0.00h) LACTATION DAYS 6 OVALERT CRV CRV OVALERT 7
