1. How Bovisen Fits Into Your Operation
Bovisen works continuously in the background to help identify animals that may be getting sick before visible symptoms appear—without disturbing cattle or changing how your operation runs.
By monitoring temperature patterns around the clock, Bovisen helps surface early health signals that can indicate illness sooner than observation- or behavior-based systems. Earlier awareness allows animals to be evaluated and treated before conditions escalate, helping reduce spread, limit severity, and lower total health-related inputs such as feed, labor, treatment use, and death loss.
Because the system runs day and night and is not affected by weather, pen conditions, or human availability, it provides a consistent layer of health insight that supports better decisions across the operation.
2. Deploying Bovisen During Normal Processing
Bovisen is designed to be deployed with minimal effort and no workflow disruption.
Tags are applied using a standard ear tag applicator during normal processing. Each tag is activated with a simple scan, after which wireless monitoring begins automatically.
At each location, a gateway is installed once —typically in under 10 minutes. A single gateway can cover large areas (up to several miles) and support thousands of animals, including those located behind barns and equipment. No line-of-sight is required.
From an installation standpoint, Bovisen is no more complicated than applying a standard ear tag and powering on a plug n play gateway.
3. Monitoring Cattle Health Day to Day
Across pens, barns, or pasture environments, Bovisen continuously checks the health status of cattle without handling, scanning, or manual input.
The system evaluates temperature trends over time and is designed to avoid false positives, helping crews focus on animals that genuinely need attention. Healthy animals are monitored at regular intervals, while animals showing signs of illness are monitored more frequently.
This allows managers and animal health teams to observe overall herd health remotely, spot emerging issues earlier, and understand whether groups of cattle are stabilizing or worsening following arrival, vaccination, or other standard health events.
4. Acting on Alerts and Visual Indicators
Bovisen provides both on-animal and remote visibility to support fast, consistent action.
A visual indicator on the tag signals when an animal requires attention, making identification easier in the pen. At the same time, health alerts are available through the Bovisen dashboard, where staff can view flagged animals by lot or group.
Pull sheets can be generated to support pen riders in locating animals efficiently, helping ensure consistency regardless of experience level. The system is designed to fit into existing pull, evaluation, and treatment processes—supporting decisions rather than replacing established practices.
5. What You Gain Over Time
Across cattle operations, identifying health issues earlier and more consistently helps catch problems before they escalate across a pen or group.
Earlier intervention typically means fewer animals require treatment, treatments can be less intensive, and overall health outcomes improve. Over time, this contributes to lower death loss, reduced secondary impacts, and more predictable performance.
For research and analysis purposes, Bovisen can also provide access to continuous, undisturbed temperature data collected in real-world indoor and outdoor environments. This enables high-quality analysis that is difficult to achieve with intermittent or handling-based measurement methods, using the same system already in place for daily operations.
