About

Founded in 2009, smaXtec is a dairy industry manufacturer based in Graz, Austria selling farm equipment & herd tech.

smaXtec develops intraruminal bolus sensors that measure data inside dairy cows, including rumen pH, internal body temperature, rumination activity and water intake.

The company was founded as a research project in 2009 and has its headquarters in Graz, Austria, with offices and direct sales in several European countries, the UK, the USA and New Zealand. It is used by dairy farms of various sizes and by research institutes for studies on animal health, reproduction and feeding.
