Mount Detection Device

The Mount Detection Device is an electronic cattle estrus monitoring solution designed to detect standing mount activity associated with heat. A pressure-sensitive transmitter is positioned near the tail-head or sacral region of the cow, where mounting pressure can activate the sensor and generate a breeding activity record.

Mount events can be transmitted wirelessly to a receiver, base station or farm management platform for analysis. Depending on system configuration, the software can record event time, duration and frequency and convert this information into practical heat alerts or breeding worklists.

The system is suitable for commercial dairy farms, beef breeding operations, genetics centers and artificial insemination programs where accurate estrus detection and reduced dependence on continuous visual observation are required.

• Standing Mount Detection: Pressure-sensitive sensing identifies mounting events associated with bovine estrus.
• Automatic Event Recording: Compatible electronic systems can record mount time, duration and frequency.
• Wireless Data Transmission: Transmits mounting information from the animal to a nearby receiver or base station.
• Real-Time Heat Alerts: Selected configurations can provide immediate notifications when reproductive activity reaches defined thresholds.
• Individual Animal Monitoring: Each transmitter can be linked to a specific cow identification record.
• Reduced Visual Observation: Helps farm personnel detect heat events that occur at night or outside normal observation periods.
• Tail-Head Installation: Sensor position is designed to detect pressure from mounting animals during standing heat.
• Farm Management Integration: Compatible systems can connect with breeding records, mobile devices and herd management software.
• Scalable Configuration: Transmitter and receiver quantities can be selected according to herd size and barn layout.
• Commercial Farm Use: Suitable for large dairy and beef breeding operations requiring structured reproductive management.

The mount sensor is attached to the sacral or tail-head region of the cow using a suitable adhesive patch or protective mounting envelope. This position allows the sensing element to receive pressure when another animal mounts the monitored cow.

When sufficient pressure is applied for the required activation period, the transmitter registers a mount event. Electronic systems can then transmit the event data wirelessly to a receiver or farm base station.

The management software analyzes the number, timing and duration of recorded mount events. Repeated standing mounts within a defined period can be classified as a strong indication of estrus and can trigger a breeding alert.

Mount detection should be combined with breeding history, animal condition and the farm's reproductive management protocol before insemination decisions are finalized.

Final communication range, battery specification, software functions and system capacity should be confirmed according to herd size, barn layout and project requirements.

SHEWUYOU can configure mount detection solutions according to herd size, farm layout, breeding workflow and livestock project requirements.

• Number of mount detection transmitters
• Rechargeable or replaceable battery configuration
• Adhesive patch and sensor envelope configuration
• Receiver and base station quantity
• Wireless coverage according to farm layout
• Cloud or local software configuration
• SMS, app or online alert functions
• Animal identification integration
• Breeding worklist configuration
• Herd management software connection
• OEM labeling and project-specific configuration
• Bulk supply for livestock equipment distributors

Installation begins with preparation of the tail-head area and placement of the pressure-sensitive transmitter. Receiver and gateway locations should be planned according to animal traffic, barn structure and wireless coverage requirements.

• Brush and clean the application area before attaching the sensor patch.
• Clip excessive hair if required by the selected adhesive system.
• Install the transmitter in the specified tail-head position.
• Assign the transmitter to the correct animal record.
• Verify communication between the transmitter and receiver.
• Check adhesive condition periodically during the monitoring period.
• Inspect transmitters for physical damage after heavy mounting activity.
• Recharge or replace batteries according to the selected model.
• Protect base stations and gateways from moisture and mechanical damage.
• Maintain current breeding and insemination records in the management system.

Q1: What does a mount detection device detect?

It detects pressure created when another animal mounts a cow, helping identify standing heat behavior associated with estrus.

Q2: Where is the device installed?

Electronic mount sensors are generally attached to the sacral or tail-head region where pressure from a mounting animal can activate the sensing element.

Q3: Can the system record the time of each mount?

Yes. Compatible electronic systems can record mount time, duration and frequency for reproductive analysis.

Q4: Can alerts be viewed on a smartphone?

Yes. Cloud-connected configurations can provide alerts and mounting data through smartphones, tablets or computers.

Q5: Is the system suitable for large dairy farms?

Yes. Transmitter numbers, receiver quantity and communication coverage can be scaled according to herd size and barn layout.

Q6: Does one mount always confirm estrus?

A single event should be interpreted together with mount duration, repeated activity, breeding history and other reproductive information. System algorithms may use multiple events to identify standing heat more reliably.

Q7: Can SHEWUYOU customize the system?

Yes. Transmitter quantity, wireless coverage, software access, alerts and system integration can be configured according to project requirements.
