HerdIQ

Intelligent herd management with IoT ear tags

The full picture

HerdIQ

Solar-powered IoT ear tags monitor temperature, activity, rumination, and GPS location for every animal. A dashboard provides real-time health alerts, oestrus detection, and movement history. Fully compatible with Tanzania's TANLITS national traceability mandate.

Key benefits

✓ Real-time health alerts reduce mortality by 18%
✓ Heat detection improves conception rates by 25%
✓ GPS geo-fencing prevents livestock theft
✓ TANLITS-compliant identification built in

Tanzania market context

Why this matters now

Tanzania has 25M+ cattle but traditional monitoring relies on visual inspection. The government has mandated TANLITS electronic identification. HerdIQ goes beyond compliance — it turns tagging into a productivity tool with heat detection, illness alerts, and theft prevention.
