Identifying & Treating Sick Cattle
It’s been done the same way for years
Pen riders visually inspect cattle every day to determine animal health and identify any diseases or abnormalities. Feedlots place a great deal of trust in their pen riders to ensure these cattle are identified and treated promptly.

Traditionally Humans Determine The Health
Cattle naturally hide symptoms from predators, often times this is why people detect illness too late in them.
Traditional methods for identifying sick animals in cattle operations is very limited.
Currently, pen riders check pens each morning looking for a variety of indicators that might determine cattle illness. There are many challenges to this approach as feedlot operations are experiencing skilled staff shortages that are able to spot the diseases. To make matters worse, cattle are prey animals and naturally hide their symptoms of BRD. Research shows that the current method of diagnosing sick animals isn’t very effective. This is why Quantified Ag® built an objective remote monitoring ear tag that can help cattle producers find sick animals earlier and more accurately.
How could identifying sick cattle early help your operation?
- Improve economic returns
- Enhance pen rider efficiency
- Enhance cattle health care and wellbeing
- Improve animal welfare
- Increase feedlot efficiency

What is Quantified Ag®?
Quantified Ag® simplifies animal health management by monitoring animals 24/7 with our smart ear tag (Quantified Ag® Tag). Our tag augments pen riders by identifying sick animals in feedlots and backgrounding operations before they show visual signs of illness. Proven benefit’s of our system include an improvement to overall animal health, increased efficiency of management and labor, proactive disease outbreaks, and gives you the potential to realize new marketing opportunities, like the justification of antibiotic usage.
Quantified Ag® Has A Simple Process
Our smart ear tags are individually monitoring the health status of the cattle at your feedlot. Each ear tag collects and sends encrypted biometric and behavioral data wirelessly to a central receiver.
Our system generates health alerts and sends them to an online pull list that can be accessed on a mobile phone or printed off from our cloud-based management software.
