N NECK TAG CP ACT monitors the behavior of individual cows 24/7 and the system will detect the will detect the The NECK TAG CP ACT is a label that oa attacjhed to the cows neck and it determines the where the cow is that oa attacjhed to the cows neck and it determines the where the cow is that oa attacjhed to the cows neck and it determines the where the cow is located in the stable also it also monitors the behavior of individual cows 24/7 and cows in heat. A cow in heat shows more activity then being in a normal state of condition. A cow in heat shows more activity then being in a normal state of condition. The main parts of the NECK TAG CP ACT and health detection are:
1. Cow positioning together with the beacon VP4201 together with the beacon VP4201 2. An acceleration sensor detecting motions. motions. 3. A battery (active) assisted RFID (=Radio Frequency Identification) tag for individual cow activity battery (active) assisted RFID (=Radio Frequency Identification) tag for individual cow activity battery (active) assisted RFID (=Radio Frequency Identification) tag for individual cow activity ACT for the purpose of cow positioning and activity mea aning heat monitoring, operating on 433.3, 433.6,
, 433.8, 434.0, 434.2 and 434.5 MHz. 34.2 kHz inductive RFID tag (passive) is optional. and max. 15 minutes depending on the cows activity. memory of the RFID tag transmitting this data. The rep 4. The 134.2 kHz inductive RFID tag (passive) is optional The location of the cow in the stable is monitored every .10 seconds. cation of the cow in the stable is monitored every .10 seconds. The motions of the cow are stored in the memory of the RFID tag transmit of this transmission is min. 5 minutes and max The antenna in the barn receives the activity information from the R The antenna in the barn receives the activity information from the RFID tag of the individual animals and of the individual animals and the by means of the receiver VP4102 over CAN bus or Ethernet to the host computer information is transported by means of the receiver VP4102 over CAN bus or Ethernet to the host computer process controller and is e.g. used for ovulation/heat detecting, automatic cattle feeding, separation of g. used for ovulation/heat detecting, automatic cattle feeding, separation of g. used for ovulation/heat detecting, automatic cattle feeding, separation of animals, milk registration etc. The Velos program determines the activity increase of an animal. If an animal is a lot more active than usual The Velos program determines the activity increase of an animal. If an animal is a lot more active than usual The Velos program determines the activity increase of an animal. If an animal is a lot more active than usual it will get an heat attention. The red light on the process unit will indicate this attention. The Velos program attention. The red light on the process unit will indicate this attention. The Velos program attention. The red light on the process unit will indicate this attention. The Velos program displays overviews of animals with a clear increased Figures below show how the NECK TAG CP verviews of animals with a clear increased heat attention on the PC screen. CP ACT is attached to the cows neck repetition rate NOTE:
The label can only monitor the behavior of the animals if placed on the cows neck in the right position.
