BioTag+-sensor ear tag improves oestrus and farrowing management

With the launch of the new BioTag+sensor ear tag at EuroTier 2024 in Germany, Big Dutchman is setting a new standard for modern sow management. The innovative ear tag is the first tag that continuously records the pigs’ movement and temperature data and analyses these data using a self-learning algorithm. Important parameters such as the oestrus or upcoming births can thus be detected at an early stage and be transmitted into the cloud in real time via an IoT gateway. These data enable automatic and individual control of the housing equipment. The innovative product was given an Innovation Award in silver.
