Stockfarm
|August 2025
South African cattle producers are facing more challenges than ever. With rising input costs and tighter profit margins, they must find smarter ways to manage their operations.
This is where Datamars Africa, through Datamars Livestock, is helping cattle producers improve efficiency, accuracy, and profitability with precision livestock technologies.
By combining accurate weighing, electronic identification (EID), and real-time data collection, Datamars systems give you the tools to make better management decisions, streamline operations, and unlock long-term productivity gains.
Transforming data into profit
With the Tru-Test range of readers, scales, weigh bars, and software, producers can collect individual animal data quickly and reliably. Whether you're backgrounding calves, running a commercial or stud herd, or managing a feedlot, knowing which animals are performing is essential to maximising returns.
With radio-frequency identification (RFID) eartags linked to indicators such as the Tru-Test XR5000, you can capture animal weights, treatments, and growth data automatically - no pen and paper needed. This enables you to:
- Identify poor performers early.
- Fine-tune feeding programmes.
