Kahne rumen sensors float in the raft of the rumen and measure ruminal dynamics 24/7 – temperature, pressure/ motility and pH. The technology is user-configurable, where scientists and researchers choose their own read rates (5+ second intervals) and install their own ID numbers prior to oral insertion into dairy and beef animals.

Kahne technology benefits scientists and researchers by:

  • Delivering accurate biometric data

  • Delivering large quantity of data

  • Reduced cost of data

  • Less invasive practices

Kahne rumen sensors assist scientists and researchers by providing a continuous flow of in vivo measurements (rumen statistics) from unrestrained cattle living under realistic commercial conditions.
