An ecological sensor for the dairy industry
Patent/license sale

This patent application is about a cylindrical sensor as a base of a complete cow monitoring system. The PH sensor is fed to the cows and will remain in their reticulum for at least 3 years.

In addtion to position and temperature, the acidity is also constantly measured. The data provided will help to improve the health and lifespan of the animals.

That way dairy farmers can achieve perfect feeding optimisation in order to make efficient use of resources and to reduce the use of medications and antibiotics.

To sum it up, the use of the PH sensor significantly increases the productivity of the dairy farm and improves the quality of cows and their milk.

Market and Future

A market potential of 265 million animals was derived from the total number of dairy cows worldwide. To ensure that the future of the dairy industry is able to keep developing on an ethical and ecological base, we support the goals of authorities and institutions, scientists and business people who are moving in a sustainable direction:

  • further increase in efficiency through efficient, healthy and long living cows
  • consistent and complete economic evaluation of the milk branch
  • targeted qualification of workers and managers for low-loss andperformance adapted feed production, herd management,
    work management and leadership
  • use of grassland or fodder with humus-increasing or phytosanitary features
    as a base in their food for efficient milk production
  • organic milk production
  • use of support for investment in animal-friendly housing systems
  • creation of attractive jobs through the use of
    automation and adequate remuneration
