Reduced Activity Detection

Early insight into changes in activity helps you care for your herd with confidence

What is reduced activity detection?

Healthy animals usually move in familiar patterns. When that changes and activity drops, it can mean something needs attention. The reduced activity detection feature tracks data from your Nofence collars and sends a notification if the change lasts, helping you stay ahead in herd care without needing to be in the field.

The challenge: You can't be everywhere at once

Most livestock care still depends on being physically present: walking the pasture, watching the herd, and spotting when an animal seems less active than usual. That takes time, and subtle changes are easy to miss in a busy day. Reduced activity detection adds an extra layer of awareness, so your attention can go where it matters most.

How reduced activity detection helps

With reduced activity detection, the Nofence system becomes an extra set of eyes on activity patterns:
    •    Early awareness: get notified when an animal’s activity drops noticeably over time
    •    More confident decisions: use clear, data-driven insight to decide when to check on an animal
    •    Peace of mind at a distance:  keep an overview of your herd, even when you’re not nearby

Nofence gives you the information; you decide what to do with it and when to act.

How it works

Reduced activity detection works across both Legacy and 2.5 collars, as long as they're assigned to a pasture.

  • The Nofence system continuously checks each collar's activity and compares it with:

    • the animal’s own typical pattern over the last two weeks

    • the rest of the herd using the same collar type

  • If activity stays lower than expected, compared to both itself and the herd, the system sends a reduced activity alert in the app

In short: it learns what "normal" looks like for each animal and herd, and notifies you when the pattern changes.

  • Every 30 minutes, the Nofence system checks each collar's activity and compares it with:

    • the animal’s own typical pattern over the last two weeks

    • the rest of the herd using the same collar type

Works together with No movement detection alert

Reduced activity detection is designed to complement the existing No movement detection alert:

  • No movement detection alerts you when a collar has stopped registering movement for four hours in total

  • Reduced activity detection notifies you when movement drops significantly

Together, they provide a more complete picture of your herd's wellbeing. That way, you know that your livestock is monitored continuously, so you can intervene early and confidently.
