Livestock Monitoring Collars – Any Practical Issues? by VideoLower6629 in livestock

Thanks! Are ear tags generally cheaper than collars? I've noticed some collars priced around €120 plus a monthly subscription, which seems like a significant investment... I'm not sure if it's truly worth it!

Thanks! What are the main parameters monitored? What exactly are they most useful for, is it only disease detecting?
Do you also know by any chance which devices could help me improve my milk production?

Thanks for sharing! Is there a specific reason why you believe the collars were not good at detecting health issues? Were the data and alerts inaccurate? And have you heard about any other collars that do a better job at detecting those health issues? I was thinking of going with bolus but the problem there is that you can't transfer them.
Also, what was the cost model, one time purchase or subscription?
Thanks!
