COW PROTECTOR
Get Help
Regular values reveal developments that single measurements cannot show.
Every cow is assessed in her own right, not as part of an average.
Distribution and outliers within the herd become recognisable.
A basis for feeding and management decisions on the farm.
In the normal routine after milking, without additional handling.
The camera unit records the body contour from above.
The match is made by camera, without a transponder.
The body condition score is determined automatically.
The current value and the trend are available in the dashboard.
BCS is observed systematically, not only in occasional manual measurements.
Changes in individual animals over time become visible.
Repeated manual scoring is reduced considerably.
Relevant differences and developments are easier to see.
BCS measurement is not a separate installation but a function of the same COW PROTECTOR camera unit in the barn.
Automatic assessment of body condition per animal. You are here.
“The biggest change COW PROTECTOR brought? We are always one step ahead of the problems. Instead of only reacting to symptoms, we prevent them.”

The COW PROTECTOR camera unit captures the body contour of the cow as she passes. From this the AI determines the body condition score, for each individual animal and in real time.
No. The measurement is purely camera-based. No transponders or markings on the animal are needed.
The same AI that powers lameness detection identifies every animal with the camera and assigns the measurement to the right cow.
On every pass through the monitored area. This builds a trend rather than a snapshot.
In the COW PROTECTOR dashboard, available on smartphone, tablet and PC. There you see the current value and the trend for each animal.
The same as for lameness detection: a straight, level and well-lit walkway of 5 to 6 metres, a mounting height of 3 to 4.5 metres and a stable internet connection.
