CowScout – Smart dairy herd monitoring
Monitor cow health, detect heat and improve herd performance with real-time behavioral data and intelligent insights.
You manage more than a herd.
You manage a future.
Managing a modern dairy operation means handling complex, fast-moving data every day.
Small behavioral changes – a drop in rumination, a delayed heat, subtle inactivity – can quickly impact reproduction, health and overall performance.
CowScout helps you stay on top of it – turning continuous herd data into clear, structured insight.
You lead.
Data supports.
Performance follows.
From visibility to control.
CowScout continuously monitors key behavioral parameters such as activity, rumination and eating behavior.
By analyzing this data in real time, the system highlights what requires attention — helping you act earlier and more precisely.
Heat detection and health monitoring for better herd performance
Reproduction
Accurate heat detection for optimal insemination timing
Missing a heat or inseminating too early directly impacts reproduction performance and farm efficiency.
CowScout detects heat based on real-time behavioral data and helps you identify the optimal time for insemination.
- Reliable heat detection
- Optimal insemination timing
- Early identification of irregular cycles
- Reduced manual observation
Health
Early detection through behavioral monitoring
Small behavioral changes are often the first signs of health issues.
CowScout monitors rumination, eating and activity patterns to detect deviations early and support timely intervention.
- Early detection of health issues
- Monitoring of rumination and eating behavior
- Faster response to deviations
- Improved herd stability

How SmartParc is rewriting the rules of food production
Thanks to a new SmartParc manufacturing site, food processors in the U.K. are cutting their running costs and emissions. With GEA heating and cooling technology at its core, this collaborative production model demonstrates how innovation is accelerating the industry’s net-zero ambitions.
The food science playground
“Brewing eggs is like brewing beer.” It’s the kind of comparison that makes you smile – and then it clicks: Something complex suddenly feels simple. Through this personal film, set in the agricultural heartland of the U.S., we explore precision fermentation and the real-world work it takes to turn an idea into food.
