You can't manage a herd you can only count once a month.

Theft, disease and water failures cost livestock farmers more than feed ever will — and by the time you notice, the loss is already done. addanode uses RFID and sensors to identify animals, track movement, watch weight and water, and flag the early signs of trouble, so you manage the herd by exception and have the records to prove ownership and traceability.

What it covers

Identity, movement, condition and infrastructure.

Identification

RFID ear-tag reads at gates, races and crushes — every animal, every pass.

Movement

Camp and gate activity to spot strays, theft and unusual movement.

Condition

Auto-weighing and trends that flag animals losing condition.

Water & infrastructure

Trough levels, borehole and pump status so the herd never runs dry.

Frequently asked

Livestock questions we answer.

The biggest, fastest wins are usually theft detection and never letting a water point fail unnoticed.

RFID reads at gates and races give you a continuous, time-stamped record of which animals are where. Unexpected movement at the wrong time triggers an alert, and the read history supports recovery and ownership claims.
The per-animal cost is mainly the RFID tag, which is low; the bulk of the investment is the fixed infrastructure — readers at key points, water-point sensors and connectivity. We size it to your herd and layout, so cost per head falls as the herd grows.
Yes. We use long-range, low-power connectivity (LoRaWAN/NB-IoT) and solar power for remote readers and water points, with buffering so data isn't lost between syncs.
Yes. Every animal's identity and movement history is logged, giving you the traceability records buyers, auditors and the authorities increasingly expect.
