The CAST program is developing an ecosystem of networked technologies and techniques for the Farm of the Future. #FutureFarm.
We use @smaXtec boluses to monitor our cows. The bolus monitors cow’s inner body temp, water intake, rumination and activity from the reticulum. This info can help with day-to-day decisions, from the timely use of antibiotics to successful insemination. #AgriTech #FutureFarm
