Welsh Show award for temperature monitor

A bolus that monitors the core body temperature of dairy cows — for early prognosis of diseases and metabolic disorders — was one of the Tomorrow, Today Exhibition award winners at the Royal Welsh Show.

Ten new farming ideas featured in the exhibition, and the other winner was the Tidy Tryc, designed to carry hay or straw, towed behind a quad bike.

Other exhibition entries, seen by the 237,694 show attendance, included dung beetles, which reduce pasture fouling by breaking down dung, and an off-road machine, called the HexHog, which allows wheelchair users to access land independently and safely.
