Enhancing Feed Efficiency with Pasture Feed Intake

CERES TAG introduces a new approach to livestock management with Pasture Feed Intake (PFI), revolutionising how farmers optimise feed efficiency.

This cutting-edge feature enables estimation of individual animals' feed intake directly in the pasture, providing invaluable insights that lead to substantial productivity improvements.

Key Benefits:

  • Problem Detection

    Get instant alerts when abnormal behaviour is detected. For example, if an animal’s resting time has increased markedly while walking and grazing times have decreased, that animal may need to be checked.

  • Genetic Selection

    A producer can identify which animals are most efficiently converting pasture to protein to improve genetic selection decisions.

  • Land Utilisation

    Producers will be able to see where animals are spending time grazing and where they are not.

  • Decision Making

    Among many actionable inputs, you can determine when it’s time to move your cattle, based on how much time they spend walking for pasture and not consuming.

  • Deforestation Free

    Immutable proof of compliance with Deforestation Free laws.

  • Carbon Accounting

    A producer can provide proof of animal grazing and methane output data to demonstrate improvements achieved through sustainable practices.

What does it measure?

  • Grazing

    To the nearest 30 seconds

  • Resting & Ruminating

    To the nearest minute

  • Walking

    To the nearest minute

  • Drinking & Unclassified Behaviour

    To the nearest minute

  • Dry Matter (Pasture) Intake

    An estimation of kilograms of pasture consumed

  • Methane Production

    An estimated calculation of grams emitted

Informed Decisions.

CERES TAG's Pasture Feed Intake functionality is a game changer for livestock management. It enhances feed efficiency and animal performance and supports economic and environmental sustainability. By leveraging PFI data, farmers can make informed decisions that boost productivity while contributing to the sustainable future of agriculture.
