smaXtec pH & Temp Sensor
The smaXtec pH & Temp Sensor is designed to provide continuous measurement of pH and temperature in the rumen. The recorded data is transmitted wirelessly to the Base Station in real-time.
Benefits of pH measurement:
- Detection of critical states of the rumen fluid
- Monitoring of the effectiveness of rumen stabilizing additives
- Monitoring of feed management
- Stabilisation of digestion
- Monitoring of rumen health
- Prevention and early detection of digestive problems
- Early detection of too abrupt change in ration
- Early detection of reduced feed uptake and poor fodder quality
- Early detection of a too rapid increase in concentrate levels or too high a ratio of strongly rumen acidifying concentrate components
- Improved feed efficiency/feed conversion
- Monitoring of appropriate concentrate/raw fibre content
