Livestock Health Monitoring Alert
A done-for-you farm automation built for the Herd Manager, connecting Twilio and Google Sheets so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
Based on data from ear tags, automated feed intake logs, or manual health checks entered by staff on a mobile app, this automation automatically flags any animal showing a reading outside the normal range, reduced feed intake, unusual movement patterns, for the herd manager to check personally.
A minor issue gets caught and treated while it's still isolated to one animal instead of becoming a herd-wide problem discovered days later.
- A livestock monitoring platform (Allflex or Cowlar)
- Zapier or Make.com
- Google Sheets
- Twilio or email
Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Done by hand, this depends entirely on a herd manager remembering to check in, update records, and follow up, with no safety net if something slips. It's the kind of work that quietly eats hours every week.
With this automation
- Low-stock and reorder alerts before you run out
- Vendor and subcontractor confirmations that chase themselves
- Preventive maintenance scheduled by usage or date
- Work orders and project milestones that update stakeholders
