Smart Paddock

Smart Paddock is an Australian-based company developing smart ear tags for the livestock industry that provide real-time information to producers about the health status, behaviour, and accurate geo-location of all the animals in their herd. Utilizing IoT data straight from the paddock, the system will analyze the large amounts of informationgathered and give feedback to the producer on three key factors: animal health and well-being, pedigree management, and pasture land utilization. To gather the data, Smart Paddock has created the Bluebell tag which attaches securely onto the ear of each animal and monitors the temperature, mobility, and geo-location, which the producer can easily access from a web dashboard or mobile phone application. | $708K / Seed / Jul 26, 2023 | |
