Pasture Feed Intake,
What does it Measure?
Following 15 years of research and development and thousands of hours of testing, Ceres Tag’s Pasture Feed Intake (PFI) is available on Ceres Trace and Ceres Ranch tags now. Along with up to 4 standard data packets, Ceres Trace & Ceres Ranch tags will now receive and additional daily summary packet with Pasture Feed Intake information.
With Pasture Feed Intake you’ll see the below metrics on both an individual animal level and at a herd level. You can view this data as reflection of the last 24hrs and also a reflection of the previous week. When using the data to impact your business performance PFI data can help identify trends of animal behaviour over time.
