Beyond security, livestock tracking is now helping Zimbabwean farmers manage grazing and animal health more efficiently. With climate change, veld fires, and recurring droughts, farmers need tools to monitor grazing pressure and optimize animal movement.
Smart trackers are stepping in as the modern eye in the field.
Livestock trackers record:
Daily walking distance
Pasture locations visited
Feeding frequency
Water-point visits
Grazing boundaries
Farmers can review data over days and weeks to understand which areas are being over-grazed — and which areas still have sufficient grass.
This helps prevent land degradation and improves herd condition.
Sudden changes in movement can indicate:
Injury
Illness
Snake bite
Stuck in a fence
Birth (for cows)
Attack by predators
If an animal is unusually still for many hours, the tracker sends an alert. This early warning can save animals from severe illness or death.
This technology supports:
Communal farmers who share grazing land
Small-scale farmers who cannot patrol daily
Commercial ranchers monitoring large herds
A1/A2 farmers managing wide grazing paddocks
The system works on both small herds and large ranch operations.
Climate challenges and feed shortages affect:
Calving rates
Weight gain
Movement patterns
Disease outbreaks
Tracking helps farmers understand these trends early, improving planning and decision-making.
