Merck Animal Health introduces SENSEHUB Dairy Youngstock

Merck Animal Health, a division of Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, New Jersey, has introduced SENSEHUB Dairy Youngstock, the industry’s first monitoring technology for dairy calves from birth through the first 12 months of life.

The innovation makes it easier for dairy producers to detect and locate calves and heifers that need attention. Proprietary, science-based algorithms constantly monitor animal behaviors through the special SENSEHUB monitoring ear tag.

The technology identifies animals that exhibit behaviors that fall outside their individual norms, indicating they may need attention. The SENSEHUB monitoring ear tag incorporates a blinking LED light so workers can quickly and easily locate those animals and apply appropriate interventions.

SENSEHUB Dairy Youngstock is easy to implement with support from the Merck Animal Health team.
