Cattle Cowalert announces new supply agreements »»ICEROBOTICS LTD, THE Scottish manufacturer of the CowAlert behaviour and heat monitoring system for dairy cows, has recently announced two new supply agreements to make it even easier for UK farmers to install and use their technology. Developed in Scotland by Edinburgh based Company IceRobotics Ltd, CowAlert is one of the world’s most advanced health monitoring and heat detection systems available for dairy cows. Already extensively used in the UK and throughout Europe, IceRobotics Ltd have recently announced two new supply agreements in the UK to make it even easier for farmers to install and use their CowAlert technology. Mathers Dairy Utensils Company, the long-established family business supplying milking parlours and equipment, has been appointed as the sole distributor and installer of the CowAlert system in Scotland and the North East. LEADERS IN THE FIELD Further South, IceRobotics Ltd has also announced an arrangement with Anglia Farmers, the largest agricultural purchasing group in the UK. IceRobotics Ltd will offer members the CowAlert system, allowing them to save many hours of work each week, whilst giving better control of both the herd and individual cows to improve fertility, productivity and profit. CowAlert was developed by Edinburgh-based technology company IceRobotics Ltd, which has been leaders in this field for over a decade and were the developers of one of the first sensing systems used in milking robots. IceRobotics Ltd products are widely recognised internationally, and have been adopted by the global animal science research community for their highly detailed, accurate animal behaviour data. Their CowAlert system, the fertility and health monitoring and alerting system for commercial dairy herds, helps farmers make the right fertility and health management decisions at the right time. IceRobotics will be exhibiting at this year’s AgriScot on Wednesday 16th November, and will also be running a seminar at the event. http://www.CowAlert.com/ Proud to have been fuelling Britain’s farms for more than 80 years Gas Oil, Diesel & Heating Oil Lubricants & AdBlue Fuel tanks & Heating Services Competitive prices & reliable delivery service New for 2016 - Gas Oil Plus - designed specifically for the modern tractor engine CONTACT OUR AGRICULTURAL TEAM TODAY 0800 542 4207 | [email protected] | www.rix.co.uk 265 x 180 Farmers Mart Advert - Summer 2016.indd 1 09/08/2016 08:56:12 www.farmers-mart.co.uk Oct/Nov 2016 53
