Research areas - livestock research
Start using TrackLab, easily collect spatial data and behavioral statistics, and learn more about wayfinding and space utilization of your livestock.
TrackLab is used for livestock research in various segments such as academic, veterinary, livestock breeding, and more.
It is a tag-based system, which means that animals wear tags (collar-based, ear-tags, backpack, etc.) to collect data on their location and movement.
"The installation of TrackLab was a success and the whole team present for the installation were pleased with the accuracy and the possibilities of the system."
