Livestock Monitoring Collars – Any Practical Issues?

[Claudiobri]

Hi everyone, I'm a young dairy farmer managing around 400 cows near Turin, Italy. I'm currently considering implementing livestock monitoring technologies (ear tags, collars, etc.) to track my herd's health, reproduction, and behavior.

Does anyone have firsthand experience with these devices? I'd particularly like to understand any limitations or practical issues you've encountered during daily use.

Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
Claudio
