Best Heat Detection:
Most advanced algorithms for heat detection
The smartest fertility management software

AfiAct II solution helps you improve your pregnancy rate with the most accurate heat detection sensor yet:

• Most sensitive: Consistently wining in detection benchmark tests
• Most reliable: Extremely rare false alarms, despite the high quality detection
• Proven: Validated with millions of animals, in 50 countries
• Unique algorithms developed and tested specifically for Heifers, Cows in open barns, free-stall, and grazing regimes

A smart management system will help you optimize the work routines, flexibly adapt to versatile farm practices, and make the bets of your animal sensor:

• Automated filters to save manual labor - Filter out animals following group changes, pregnancy checks, and hoof-trimming to avoid false alerts - by manager’s choice
• Adaptation to work protocols - Flexibly adapt to versatile work protocols e.g. multiple breeding, single breeding, ov-sync, and more

As reliable as it gets - leverage 40 years of experience, placing sensors on millions of cows and heifers:

Mechanical design that is made to last
When you buy AfiAct II you enjoy Afimilk’s 40 years of experience, providing leg sensors to millions of cows and heifers in a huge verity of farm types. AfiAct II rock-solid mechanical design is exactly what it takes to whether

Electronic design with cutting edge technology
Don’t let the simple and smooth design fool you. Under the hood, AfiAct uses the most sophisticated motion detectors available, carefully designed to optimize the performance of the sensors, the antenna communication, and remote reading - while keeping the battery life running for years and years.

24/7 wireless reading of the sensors, wherever the animals are

• Using wireless communication, as long as the tags are in reading range - allowing you maximal management flexibility
• You do not need to ensure animals will come to a reading station, solution for cows and heifers
• The reader itself, connects to the farm WiFi - so it can be 20m or 1km away from the PC - easy to fit with your farm arrangement.

Heat detection - not only which animals to inseminate, but also when

The window of opportunity for insemination - when the inseminator comes you’d want the most updated heat detection list, possible. With AfiAct II wireless reading, the tags are being read every few minutes and the animals-for-insemination list is always updated.

Furthermore: monitoring the timing of the heat development, AfiAct II is a powerful tool to optimize the timing of the insemination of each animal, improve the conception chances and increase the farm’s pregnancy rate.

Afi2Go Pro: Focused mobile app for the mobile manager

Afi2Go Pro mobile app frees you to work with the animals and saves you the need to return to the office in order to type in treatment data. Use Afi2Go for:

• Animal info - search an animal by typing her number or use an RFID (Bluetooth) wand
• Browse lists - Animals for insemination, Sick Animals, Sorted, or Vet event (planned treatment)
• Make decisions - sort, assign code, place a tag, move group, dry, calving, inseminate, and treatment

Stay Alert! Farm Notifications Mobile App

Time sensitive events, are now pushed directly into your smartphone, Displayed as splash notifications and can be browsed at all times in your farm-notification inbox

AfiAct II now monitors the animal resting time, health and wellbeing

A calm cow, is a productive cow. Researches show that a lost 1 hour of resting time, becomes a loss of 1.7kg of milk in the tank! AfiAct II tags, along with AfiFarm 5.3 software allows you to monitor and be alerted when you need to act:

• Detect sick animals based on rest behavioral pattern
• Welfare index for each group, based on their restlessness
• Overcrowding alerts - let you know when overcrowding develops, and in which group
• Quality of bedding alert - time to improve the bedding!
• Group changes alert - too many group changes are causing restlessness in the group

Vital knowhow in every step - Calving Alert Service

Determination of calving time can often mean the difference between life and death for calves and cows.

With the AfiAct II Calving Alert Service, you now receive notifications directly to your smartphone - just before calving starts, and more importantly, in cases of prolonged calving that may require intervention:

• Proven successful on a large scale - Used in hundreds of farms in tens of countries to help farmers save their calves and cows every day.
• Time sensitive - AfiAct II Calving Alert Service is today’s only tool that provides alerts less than 4 hours before calving, and also provides alerts of prolonged calving.
• Easy - All you need is a smartphone. Notification will arrive directly into your Farm Notification inbox, using Afimilk iOS or Android app.

Best Animal ID in the milking parlor and at the sorting gate

To achieve effective herd management you need great sensors, but also a reliable identification of the animals being milked, being sorted, or being fed at automated feeders.

Afimilk has developed a unique technology for electronic identification of animals. It is accurate and robust from electric interference. Implemented through AfiAct II leg tags, no additional RFID tags are needed.

AfiFarm provides stall antennas that are suitable for any farm, whatever parlor is being used.

Two that are better than one plus one:

AfiAct-II, the best tool for cow monitoring
AfiFarm 5.3, the best tool for farm management

AfiAct-II is the perfect cow monitoring tool, to go along with an Afimilk management and parlor automation solution. Here are just a few of the many reasons why:

• Cow ID in the milking parlor and sort gate - AfiAct II with proprietary active ID technology developed just for that, provides the higher ID rate available, and most robust for interference (vs. RFID)
• Combined multiple sensors algorithms - AfiFarm’s cow monitoring algorithm, analyze the combination of behavioral changes (using AfiAct II), and milk changes (using MPC and Inline Milk Lab)
• Great heat detection, great management tools - AfiFarm adds the management tools that you need to make decisions that improve your fertility, monitor those decisions, and execute (routines, tasks, procedures
• Find animals for attention, and sort them - AfiAct II will help you detect the animals to inseminate, check or treat. AfiFarm will help you sort them to the correct pen, at the designated time
• Single software - single software for heat detection, herd management, milk recording, and parlor automation
• And much much more!

Patented, Unique Technology - Provides Unmatched Heat Detection and Health Monitoring

Silent Herdsman Collar is the only one of it’s kind that uses 3D Accelerometer to effectively monitor different patterns of motion pattern: Chewing/Licking, Ruminating, and Full Body Activity.

Why would you care how it works? Because this is how, this sensor provides dramatically higher accuracy than other collars.

Heat detection that stands out:

Silent Herdsman collar provides 95% sensitivity of detection, special algorithm to optimize for cows and heifer which behave differently, as well as closed barns vs. grazing regimes. For fertility management the system will list down:

• Heat detection / Animals for insemination
• Non-cycling cows and Repeatedly cycling
• Administrative lists: Due heat and PD check

3 sensors in a single package - unique tool for health monitoring

Rumination is a sensitive and early indicator for health issues. The problem, is that other reasons may cause drop in rumination, and therefore it is highly susceptive to false alarms. Because we are combining the Rumination, Chewing, and Activity detection we can tell which is which and alert you on the cows with real health problem.

• Ecoli mastitis
• Ketosis / Acidosis
• Rumen problems
• Feet problems
• Pneumonia
• Cystic cows

The easiest, simplest tool for monitoring cows and heifers

Afraid of computers? Don’t be, this one won’t even feel like a computer. A super simple dashboard brings all the functionality you need to a single screen: within 15 minutes of learning, it will feel as if you were using it for decades

• Assign collar to an animal with 3 clicks
• Attention lists: Animals for insemination, Sick animals
• Look at further data of an animal - with one click
