Detect Fever Early.
Automate Herd Sorting.
Commercial-grade IoT smart ear tags starting at just 8g. Track continuous body temperature trends (±0.5℃ accuracy), log activity pedometer spikes, and sync ISO HDX RFID data directly with automated drafting gates.
Why Commercial Dairies Choose Smart Ear Tags
Ultra-lightweight biometric nodes engineered to replace manual probing and streamline herd drafting.
Early Fever Warnings
Continuous thermal trend monitoring (0°C–60°C range) with ±0.5℃ sensor accuracy. Identifies systemic fever spikes up to 48 hours before clinical symptoms manifest.
HDX RFID Compliance
Incorporates ISO 11784/11785 Half-Duplex (HDX) RFID chips, allowing automatic sorting gates, parlor antennas, and TMR feeders to identify individual stock effortlessly.
Ultra-Low Ear Strain
Ultra-lightweight models starting from only 8g with optimized ear pin geometry, practically eliminating tissue necrosis, ear dragging, and tag loss.
Hardware Series Configurations
Factory-tested tag configurations engineered for specific housing types and communication infrastructures.

Engineering Deep Dive & Machinery Integration
Hardware engineered to withstand farm moisture, feeding friction, and automated chute collisions.
Seamless Machinery Integration
An ear tag is an active biometric sensor. NexAgri feeds live HDX RFID and vital metrics directly into automated sorting gates, parlor entrance antennas, and TMR precision feed systems without human data entry.
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) & ROI Planning
Evaluating financial payback and operational benefits before hardware procurement.
1. Involuntary Culling & Disease Early Detection
Late disease detection is a leading driver of involuntary culling in commercial dairies. By recording relative temperature trends continuously, NexAgri-Sense S316 tags flag fever spikes up to 48 hours before physical symptoms manifest.
Early therapeutic intervention lowers veterinary bills, reduces antibiotic usage, and prevents herd-wide disease outbreaks.
2. Shortening Open Days & Insemination Timing
Every missed heat cycle incurs significant costs in lost milk yield and extra feed requirements across 21 extra open days.
Integrated pedometers log continuous step activity spikes, alerting managers to the exact artificial insemination window to improve overall conception rates.
3. Labor Savings via Automated Sorting
Manually identifying and separating sick or in-heat cows requires substantial labor hours. Built-in ISO HDX RFID tags automatically trigger drafting gates as cows exit the parlor, routing flagged animals into treatment pens without stopping herd flow.
