Welcome to the home of Australia's leading automatic identification, feeding and sorting systems.



International Dairy Week - January 2012

We are very excited to be part of the International Dairy Week Trade Expo 2012. This event will be held on Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th January 2012, site 84 & 85 on main oval at Tatura Park.

It has been a fantastic 10 years since our very nervous launch at IDW in 2002.  In this time we have grown to over 2000 Easy Dairy users with more farms starting every week and developed our own automatic cow identification systems and are recognised as the leaders in this field.

Come along and see all of our current systems and our up and coming activity meters.

We hope to see you there where.

 



Activity Meter Update - August 2011

We have just completed our first on-farm trial of 25 activity meters with fantastic results.

The activity measurement went exceptionally well and we are very happy with this part of the project.

We were excited to find that we could read the tags on cows up to 400 meters away from the dairy using a small 100mm (4 Inch) antenna. This was well beyond our expectations and opens up many possibilities for other uses of the technology on farm.

We are now waiting on updated electronics to resolve some timing issues allowing us to extend battery life, when this arrives we will conduct our next on-farm trial.

All other tests went well, we now have the final designs for our enclosures and are happy with our leg band designs.

This is a very exciting time for us all here as we have been working on this project for nearly 2 years and we are now very confident that we will achieve results beyond our original goals.

Easy Dairy Activity Meters

How would you like a reliable and affordable way of detecting when cows are on heat or suffering from illness before your herd even reaches the dairy?

Our goals

  • Develop an affordable Australian made activity meter.
  • Be able to produce a list of high/low activity cows before milking starts.
  • Allow units to be attached to legs or necks.
  • Estimated 5 year battery life with ability to replace battery.
  • Ability to locate lost tags using hend held device.
  • Ability to track when and who natural bulls have mounted.
  • Export lists to work with other manufacturers ID & Draft Systems.
  • Measure hourly activity allowing better heat indication.

We are very excited by the potential of our new Activity Meters and hope to make automated heat and illness indication available to every Australian dairy farmer.
