With its livestock tracking system capabilities, you can view trends in walking, grazing, resting and ruminating. This level of awareness supports more informed planning and helps you identify welfare concerns quickly.

  • Direct-to-Satellite Connectivity for Continuous Oversight

    A CERES TAG satellite tracking device for livestock removes common barriers that limit traditional GPS solutions. Data is transmitted directly to low earth orbit satellites, giving you uninterrupted global coverage. This ensures every animal can be located at any time without relying on mobile service or network installations.

    CERES TAG smart farming technology is completely independent and solar powered. Its autonomous functionality means you never need to manage towers, replace batteries or maintain equipment. With simple activations and long-term durability, CERES TAG provides dependable monitoring day after day.

Smart Livestock Ear Tags with Unmatched Animal Insights

A CERES TAG smart ear tag for animals gives producers a deeper understanding of animal behaviour and daily activity. The combination of solar-powered sensors, on-device analytics and data interpretation allows clients to manage their livestock proactively and efficiently.

  • Pasture Feed Intake and Behavioural Awareness

    Pasture Feed Intake metrics offer powerful insights into which animals are performing most efficiently. This calculation, the result of 15 years of research and thousands of testing hours, measures time spent grazing and identifies behavioural trends. With data accessible at both individual and herd levels, clients can review 24-hour summaries or compare longer term patterns.

  • Health Alerts and Early Detection Capabilities

    CERES TAG devices notify you of unusual behaviour, inactivity or high activity. Early visibility of changes in behaviour allows you to identify health concerns and supports timely intervention. This can help reduce the spread of disease. By using insights from your livestock monitoring tag, you can protect welfare and reduce losses for improved long-term profitability.

  • Security and Theft Protection Features

    A CERES TAG GPS ear tag for cattle and livestock uses precise GPS data to provide immediate notifications when unexpected movement occurs.. These built-in protections give clients confidence that their herd is monitored at all times.
