Current section: KAMAR Heat Detectors

Dairy Cow Heat Detectors.   Accurate and reliable heat detection is essential in a profitable breeding programme and identifying cows in heat increases conception rates, reduces calving intervals and lowers insemination costs. Each has a positive impact on herd profitability.

Missing a cow in heat costs as much as £4.60 a day, reducing the profitability of a herd*.

Kamar Heatmount™ Detectors:

  • Cut the cost of missed heats
  • Stay firmly glued to the cow
  • Identify night heats
  • Highly visible
  • Reliable even in extreme weather
  • Increase herd profitability

The reliable choice in identifying cows in heat.  Kamar Heatmount™ Detectors give a clear indication of a cow in heat by turning bright red - clearly visible from a distance. Standing heat behaviour is the most reliable indication of a cow in heat, but with 70% showing first signs of heat during the night, many night heats are missed without reliable heat detection.

Kamar Heatmount™ Detectors work 24 hours a day and due to a uniquely pressure-sensitive design, are activated only by standing heat behaviour, not false mounting.

Kamar Heatmount™ Detectors can be used after insemination to detect a return to heat and also to determine when cows return to cycling after calving. Designed to work with the Bray Cattle Calendar.Kamar also available in blue cloth for additional management options.
