Livestock GPS Tracking Devices | GPS Tracking System

Battery-Powered Tracking Devices for Livestock

Digital Matter livestock GPS tracking devices are purpose-built for demanding farm environments. With ultra-long battery life of 10+ years, they provide reliable performance with minimal maintenance, allowing farmers to deploy once and track for years.

Engineered with rugged enclosures, each GPS tracking device for cattle and livestock is designed to withstand dust, moisture, and impacts in harsh agricultural conditions.

Compact in size yet powerful, our trackers are easy to attach without interfering with animal movement. Advanced GNSS technology ensures accurate location and movement data, giving farmers confidence that every animal can be monitored precisely.

Benefits of Deploying Livestock GPS Tracking Devices

Monitor Livestock Location

Livestock GPS tracking devices provide real-time visibility of your herd. Farmers can quickly locate cattle or sheep across large properties, reducing time spent searching and improving day-to-day efficiency.

Prevent Theft and Reduce Losses

Protect valuable herds with livestock GPS tracking devices. Set boundaries, get alerts if cattle leave the property, and use Recovery Mode to live-track and quickly recover stolen animals.

Analyze Movement Patterns

GPS data reveals how livestock move and graze, offering insights into behavior, grazing efficiency, and land use. These movement patterns help farmers plan rotations, prevent overgrazing, and maintain pasture health.

Improve Feeding and Pasture Management

By monitoring where and how long animals spend in certain paddocks, livestock GPS tracking devices help evaluate feed availability and pasture quality. This ensures better resource allocation and healthier herds.

Detect Inactivity and Health Concerns

Inactivity alerts and unusual movement patterns can indicate potential illness, injury, or calving events. Early detection through GPS cattle tracking devices allows for timely intervention and improved animal welfare.

Streamline Record Keeping and Compliance

Automated logs of livestock location and activity simplify record keeping. Farmers can meet traceability requirements and maintain accurate compliance reports without relying on manual tracking.

Reduce Labor Costs and Time

GPS tracking devices for cattle minimize the need for manual headcounts and physical checks across large grazing areas. This reduces labor costs, saves time, and allows staff to focus on higher-value tasks.

Scale Easily Across Herds

Digital Matter livestock GPS tracking devices are compact, rugged, and built with industry-leading 10+ year battery life. Farmers can deploy once and manage herds at scale with minimal maintenance.

Digital Matter Livestock GPS Tracking Device Features

Global Connectivity

Track your assets anywhere in the world with multiple connectivity options across Cellular or LoRaWAN® networks.

Collar Housing

Collar housing available for the Yabby range to securely and comfortably attach devices to livestock.

Theft Recovery

Activate real-time tracking for asset retrieval by switching to Recovery Mode in case of loss or theft.

Onboard Geofencing

Create custom geofences and alerts if an asset enters or leaves specific locations. Geofences can also be downloaded directly to the device for enhanced location-based behaviors.

Impact and Tip Detection

Configure impact-detection alerts when g-forces are exceeded by a user-defined threshold to ensure the safety of fragile or sensitive assets during transit or storage.

Low Battery Alerts

Receive low-battery and critical alerts so your devices stay active when you need them most, ensuring uninterrupted protection across your fleet.

Off-the-Shelf Batteries

Reduce installation, operation, and support costs with industry-leading battery life and performance. Powered by user-replaceable and easily sourced Alkaline, Lithium, or LTC batteries.

Rugged and Waterproof

Ultra-rugged and waterproof housings developed and tested to withstand rough environments, impact, fine dust, and brief submersion.
