StepMetrix ™

StepMetrix™
The First Automated, Objective, Real-Time
Lameness Detection System Available to
Milk Producers
• Permanently installed in a milking parlor return lane,
StepMetrix identifies each cow as it walks over the detector
and provides an analysis of soundness or lameness

• Uses parallel multi-sensor force-plates to measure the


force and duration of a cow’s steps to calculate a
SMX Score for both left and right rear legs

• Ear Tag Identification number of each cow and its


SMX Scores are automatically transmitted and stored
on a PC. SMX Software provides printable reports of
current and historical SMX Scores for individual cows,
groups of cows and the entire herd

• Most dairy farm layouts will require one StepMetrix system,


however some may require two systems in opposing return lanes.
Kits have been provided to accommodate both applications

• Kits have also been established to accommodate dairies using


either BouMatic or ISO Ear Tag Identification (ISO EID)

Key Features:

• Automated and objective lameness scoring of all cows without


interferring with cow flow

• Early detection of clinical and sub-clinical lameness allows for


earlier treatment, reducing its economic impact

• Graphic and numeric SMX Reports with instant SMX Scores


and historical SMX Data
Note: Requires user-provided personal computer. 6B.1

PC Requirements:

• Operating System: Windows 2000 or Windows XP, Vista

• P
 rocessor: Intel Pentium III or AMD Athlon or better
with at least 212MB of available RAM
