Solutions > Estrus Detection > Heatime® Comparison

Heatime® Comparison


Visual observation of cow behavior is the most commonly used method of estrus detection, yet its accuracy suffers considerably due to various heat characteristics which require extensive experience and a considerable investment in observation time to achieve higher accuracy.


Factor Issues with Visual Heatime®
Silent heat Only secondary heat characteristics displayed in 77% of cows in first estrus cycle Monitors cow's relative individual activity levels including secondary signs.
Overnight heat Significant share of heats occur overnight 24/7 monitoring.
Short heat Heat characteristics' duration falls between visual observation times 24/7 monitoring in 2 hr time blocks.
Employee training Significant experience is needed to correctly ID heat. Proprietary algorithm analyzes all estrus related activity.
Environmental Conditions Cow social status, pen population density, pen surface type and pen temperature affect heat signs duration and intensity. Monitors individual cow's relative activity levels.
To overcome the limitations of visual observation a number of estrus detection aids, such as tail-painting/chalking, pressure sensitive mount detectors and electronic detection aids, have been introduced to the market.

Of these detection aids, electronic aids have been proven as the significantly more accurate and reliable than other heat detection methods.
SCR™ is considered by many as the most accurate electronic heat detection aids manufacturer. SCR™'s heat detection product line includes: Heatime®, Heatime® for PC and Dataflow™ incorporate this technology
  Electronic Devices Heatime®
Operation Simple Motion Counter Proprietary Motion Intensity Sensor.
Measurement Rough cow movement. Head movements' type, intensity and duration.
Detection Rate Typically Up to 70% Typically Up to 95%
Heatime® provides a comprehensive, efficient, labor saving and consumer friendly alternative to synchronization programs.
  Synchronization Heatime®
Labor Requirements Extensive labor investment to deliver injections. One time attachment of tags.
Solution Scope First AI service only. Subsequent cycles are problematic. Not all cows are affected by treatment. Every heat cycle of every cow (even heifers)
Public Image Negative public emotion regarding the use of hormones. None
Cost Ongoing hormone shots expenses. One time investment
