HerdDynamics...
What is
HerdDynamics?
Revolutionary farm management solution for
temperature monitoring covering the whole
lactation period.
HerdDynamics rumen bolus is designed to
provide continuous and reliable temperature
measurement of the rumen. All data is
transmitted automatically, first to the
gateway, and then to a cloud-based system
which allows farmers, vets and scientists to
process the information and deal with
unexpected issues. This HerdDynamics works
on 868 MHz RF range providing Wide
coverage of 1 – 2.5 km per gateway.
03
Why HerdDynamics?
Until recently, it has been extremely difficult to accurately measure, in a
non-evasive and stress less manner, any information relating to herd
welfare and present this raw data as a herd management tool.
Within a beef unit, HerdDynamics allows the herd manager to efficiently and
accurately monitor. The entire herd as individuals for any large temperature
fluctuations day or night. Identifying any issue in most cases before the animal
shows any outward signs of appetite loss, illness or stress. Prompt intervention
can initiate earlier procedures with better outcomes, often with lower
medication and labour. This means an animal can continue to achieve daily
live-weight gain (DLG) targets with lower mortality rates and productivity loss Internal temperature

The herd manager of an intensive finishing unit utilising HerdDynamics will precursor for the onset of

fluctuations are a primary indicator when cattle are exposed to Bovine
physiological changes
Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVD) and Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) which
affecting daily live-weight
commonly result in an increase in core body temperature when immune
systems are challenged. Respiratory diseases such as Pneumonia in

the beef herd.

How HerdDynamics
Bolus Works?
1. A small tube - Bolus with a LoRa tag inside is feed to a cow
which then sits in the stomach giving out data reports.
2. Low energy consumption resulting in five-year battery life.
3. HerdDynamics data transmission to the gateway receiver
installed locally.
4. HerdDynamics safely stores your data in the Cloud allowing
access from any web enabled device 24/7.
5. HerdDynamics transmits alerts & information via Wi-Fi to
multiple handheld devices.
6. HerdDynamics provides information and alerts you on
problems in your milk cattle allowing intervention sooner.

Instant cattle health data with a
HerdDynamics...
Bolus as small as three coins! Real-time data management provides
an insight into herd health before
obvious signs are revealed.
A rumen bolus is used as an alternative
to ear tags for identifying cattle. A rumen
72.9 mm bolus is a capsule with 81mm x 27mm
round bolus implants, made from medical
grade plastic and can be inserted into the
animals from three months of age
without any harm to animals. After
24.3 mm application, the bolus comes to rest in
the reticulum for the life of the animal.

of HerdDynamics
Lowers your mortality rates and
reduces economic impacts of
non-fatal diseases offering an
immediate financial benefit.
Multi-use temperature bolus with identifies and contains contagious
a five-year lifespan suitable for illness before infection spreads,
any intensive finishing unit. particularly respiratory disease.

Observes environmental factors such as heat stress, Bolus ‘memory’ prevents data
the effect of nutritional variations if feed quality alters gaps, increasing accuracy with

density and barrier feed-point overcrowding. 15 minutes or hourly.
A five-year battery life sees
a long lifespan and multi-use
in finishing herds.

HerdDynamics...
Retrieve HerdDynamics data from a local pc but
also safely and securely store data held in the
Cloud with multi-user login and back up eliminating
the need for costly IT hardware and support.
Software easily installed across multi Algorithms quickly establish a temperature
devices so HerdDynamics generates baseline eliminating fluctuations that
herd information as soon as bolus occur during drinking so ‘real’ temperature
implants are introduced. changes only trigger an alert message.

The LoRa Data
The LoRa Data Network utilizes
cutting edge technology, and
has many advantages over
traditional technologies when it
comes to asset visibility,
monitoring and recovery;
11
1. Sim free – no monthly ongoing charges.
2. Long wave spectrum – can ‘see’ through containers or
buildings unlike GPS.
3. Reduced power requirement – tags last for years not days.
4. Multi-functional – not just a tracking device but can
indicate temperature, movement, shock for example.
5. Remote configuration – tags can receive messages in all
locations.
6. Coverage – 1km to 2.5km per gateway.
