Connected Cows?
summary
Fujitsu pedometer tags with a five‑year battery sit on cow legs, send step counts via a 300m radio to a receiver and then to Microsoft Azure where a service compares day‑over‑day steps to spot estrus spikes. Detection hits 95% accurate and the optimal artificial insemination moment is about 16 hours optimal AI after the spike. Early trials across 11 farms show about a 12% average improvement in calf production (some farms hit 31%) and behavior patterns can flag 8–10 diseases detected.
