Infrastructure and equipment to measure consumption,
behavior and heart rate



Grazing group in plots with their respective blocks.
White belts have POLAR RCX3 devices to measure heart rate.
It´s complemented with the consumption of oxygen and will determinate the energy expenditure
of said cows.
HERD MOONITOR It´s a system for the continuous monitoring of the activity
of free grazing animals; the system is based on a
neck collar, which has satellite communication, solar panels
for power supply, three axes of accelerometer
for the determination of the activity of the cow
(grazing, rest and hike) and a GPS for
tracking the location of the cow during the day.
Cows that consume 100% TMR, which are housed also have these devices.
