Then, in Austria, a group of sick cows will text ... ...

Is true, a start-up company called SmaXtec, they put sensors on the cow's stomach, these sensors can be passed through the WiFi cow health data.

Each sensor is probably the size of hot dogs, by a metal rod inserted cow's rumen (the first stomach of cattle), and buried in them, like this:

Sensors to track temperature, stomach pH value, cows, moving, and other activities, and be able to identify whether a cow is eager to be describing the State of things ... ... (Cow: I not the whole cow! ）

In addition, the sensor can determine whether the cow is pregnant, accuracy up to 95%.

What's the point of this feature? So, in front of the calving cows, because, after all, milkman, and milk production of explosion, so farmers can take advantage of this time, squeeze a little more milk.

In short, when the sensor detects a cows body condition is changed, it will send notification messages to the farm workers. According to Bloomberg, the sensor on the battery can last for about four years.

When the cow disease, it is often difficult to perceive in the infancy until the cows when the illness was clearly showed, had missed the optimal treatment period. Sensor from the inside view to the reality, which enables us to discover clue to avoid delay of the illness.

According to reports, there are currently more than 20 countries nearly 350 farms were using this technology. Over the past 6 years, United Kingdom has 15000 cows implanted the sensor.

At the same time enjoy the benefits of technology, is also a price to pay. This set of equipment is divided into two parts: the network settings for $600, $75-400 per cow, these costs shall be borne by the company or distributor, local farmers only by month for each cow to pay for $10.

话说，在奥地利，有一批会生病了会发短信的奶牛……

是这么回事，一家叫SmaXtec的初创公司，他们把传感器放到了奶牛的胃里，这些传感器能够通过WiFi传递奶牛的健康数据。

每个传感器大概有热狗那么大，通过金属杆插入牛的瘤胃（牛的第一个胃），并埋入其中，长这样的：

传感器能够跟踪体温、肠胃pH值、奶牛的移动和其它活动，并能识别奶牛是否处于渴望进行不可描述之事的状态……（奶牛：我整个牛都不好了！）

除此之外，传感器还能够判断奶牛是否有孕，准确率达95%。

这个功能有什么用呢？是这样的，母牛在产犊前，因为毕竟要奶娃了，奶的产量会爆增，因此农民伯伯们就可以利用这一时期，多挤些牛奶。

总之，当传感器检测到奶牛身体状态发生变化时，就会向农场职工发送通知短信。根据彭博社的说法，传感器上的电池能维持四年时间。

当奶牛患病时，人们往往很难在初期觉察到，直到奶牛呈现出明显的病症时，已经错过了最佳治疗时期。传感器能够从内部查看到实际情况，这就使得我们能够及时发现苗头，避免延误病情。

据报道，目前有20多个国家近350个农场用上了这项技术。在过去6年时间里，英国有15000头母牛被植入了这一传感器。

在享受技术带来的好处的同时，也是要付出代价的。这套设备的费用分为两部分：网络设置600美元，每头奶牛为75-400美元，这些费用均由公司或分销商承担，当地农民只需要按月为每头奶牛缴纳10美元即可。
