CowManager - Ahead of the Herd, Together

CowManager is a decision-support system for dairy herds, from calf to cow.

Our foundational product, the Ear Sensor, monitors micro-movements and ear temperature across five core modules - Fertility, Health, Transition, Nutrition and Youngstock (from 14 days) - giving farmers, vets and their advisors the shared information needed to make decisions quickly and with confidence.

The Milk Sensor extends that intelligence into the dairy shed itself, measuring conductivity, milk yield, milking speed, vacuum and temperature, with early Mastitis Indicator Alerts detected per quarter at cluster level. The Milk Sensor will be commercially available in New Zealand from 2027, extending the CowManager offering alongside the Drafting Gate, Find My Cow and MultiView.

At CowManager, we believe a successful farmer is a prepared farmer. That's why we help you stay ahead of what's coming, whatever your goals. Whether you run 20 cows or 20,000, our range of monitoring tools gives you eyes on every one of them.
 

A New Take on Whole-Farm Monitoring

CowManager brings ear sensor and milk sensor technology together to give you the most complete picture of your herd - from individual cow behaviour and temperature to udder health at the shed. The result is actionable insight across fertility, health, transition, nutrition and youngstock, so you can focus on the cows who need you and leave the rest to graze in peace.
 

Peace of Mind Monitoring

1. A successful farmer is a prepared farmer. CowManager helps you stay one step ahead.

2. Earlier flagging, more targeted treatment and reliable heat detection support stronger herd performance.

3. No more walking the paddock for hours checking who's sick or in heat. With a 24/7 extra set of eyes, your time goes further.

4. We don't work for farmers. We work with them and their advisors, exchanging knowledge and ideas so we grow together.
    

Getting Started Is Easy

Fit the ear sensor, install the (solar) router, and receive your data on PC or smartphone, integrated with your herd management system. That's your whole-herd visibility sorted. As the Milk Sensor becomes available, it plugs straight into the same system, extending your insight from paddock to platform.
 

We Know What Your Cows Need:
 

Fertility
Time your breeding with confidence. CowManager flags peak heats and non-cycling cows so you know exactly when a cow is ready, helping you breed at the right time, every time.

Health
Get a clear read on your herd's wellbeing. A drop in eating, rumination, activity or temperature triggers an alert, often 1 to 2 days before clinical signs appear, so you and your vet can act sooner. Already treating a cow? Monitor her recovery in detail.

Transition
The transition period carries the highest health risk in the whole lactation cycle. CowManager gives you individual, at-risk cow alerts through this window, so problems are flagged before they take hold.

Nutrition
Get in-depth insight into feed intake and rumination at both the individual and group level. Spot heat stress early, refine your feed management and keep your herd on target.

Youngstock
Monitoring starts early, from 14 days or 50kg liveweight, so you can flag health and growth issues in your calves before they become setbacks.

Milk Sensor
Clips straight into the milk tube for insight at every milking - conductivity, milk yield, milking speed, vacuum and temperature, with early Mastitis Indicator Alerts detected per quarter. Available in New Zealand from 2027.
