AfiCollar provides accurate and time-sensitive heat detection data for improving your herd’s pregnancy rate. Use AfiCollar to identify which cows to inseminate and the best time for insemination. AfiCollar heat detection is also ideal for grazing cows.

AfiCollar works together with Afimilk’s MPC Milk Meters and AfiLab to provide accurate data on the quality of each cow’s milk, and their individual health. This data is used to provide early detection and alerts of health issues, such as ketosis.
AfiCollar continuously monitors the eating patterns of the cows and heifers as well as the rumination time. Each activity provides information about the animal’s health, and changes might indicate a disease sign or a change in the animal’s wellbeing.
