Herd Monitoring Made Easy
Believe it or not, monitoring your cow’s health – from the inside out – couldn’t be easier. Research also shows it’s the best way to monitor your herd’s health – one cow at a time.
With the TruCore Precision Monitoring system you get:
- 24/7 activity monitoring
- 24/7 temperature monitoring
- 24/7 eating and drinking monitoring
- Early indications of estrus (heat)
For All Ruminant Animals
Internal, fresh activity and temperature monitoring works well for all ruminant animal production including:
- Dairy production
- Beef production
- Sheep production
- Goat production
- Bison production
How Our Fresh Cow Monitoring System Works
The multi-sensor is the foundation of the system
An individual multi-sensor forms the foundation of the Herdstrong TrueCore fresh cow monitoring system. The multi-sensor lives inside each cow and requires no activation. The multi-sensor arrives turned on and ready to go with a battery that lasts four years.
The multi-sensor is applied
Easy to administer, the multi-sensor gets applied via a multi-sensor applicator, a standard piece of equipment on all dairies. Generally, that applicator is used to give medication or tablets. Before administering the multi-sensor, the HerdStrong app uses a camera in a smartphone to read the barcode on the sensor. This marries the sensor to the cow’s ear tag number which is then entered into the app. From that point forward the animal’s ear tag ties the sensor to the animal.
The multi-sensor lives in the reticulum
Once swallowed, the multi-sensor travels through the rumen making its way to its final resting place in the animal’s second stomach chamber called the reticulum.
The multi-sensor measures temperature & activity
Once applied, the sensor begins measuring activity and temperature from the reticulum. From this location, the sensor measures:
- Rumination (the digestive action of the intestinal tract)
- Gross motor movement (used to identify heat)
- Temperature (which can monitor water intake and core body temperature).
The sensor stores information and transmits the data every 30 minutes. Depending on local conditions and the specific installation, signals can be received by the smart gateway in an area up to a 450 foot diameter.
The cow's data is applied to formulas
Once received by the smart gateway, finely tuned algorithms are applied to the data and used to predict ovulation, calving and disease.
Health alerts are sent as needed
When the data registers with a certain algorithm, like disease, the system sends an alert to the herd management software.
The Advantages of Internal Cow Tracking Device Systems
From early disease detection to determining when a cow is in estrus to monitoring its overall activity, our internal cow tracking system does the job best.
Learn about the benefits you and your herd get when you use Herdstrong’s TruCore Monitoring System.

The Benefits of Herdstrong’s TruCore Monitoring System:
- You can easily apply and activate each cow tracking device.
- You can use your smartphone, tablet or computer to monitor your herd’s health. (App available for iPhone and Android)
- You get 95% heat detection accuracy. (You won’t get that with rectal thermometers)
- You can detect disease earlier and more reliably with real-time core temperature and activity readings.
- You can improve reproduction. Accurate activity and heat detection offer a more accurate determination of estrus.
- You don’t have to worry about broken collars or lost leg sensors. The cow tracking device lives inside the cow.
- You know when a cow is sick faster reducing the need for antibiotics and expensive vet bills
