Use Case

Wild boar Tracking

Wild boars turn out to be comparably easy to catch, but particularly difficult to tag using common tracking collars.

That's why we've developed a tracking device which is both practical with regards to deployment and less of a burden for the tagged animal.

Solution

Due to the neck shape, tracking collars are not the preferred choice of tracking devices for wild boars. Instead, ear-tags have proven themselves as a valuable alternative. Advantages of ear-tags are

  • Reduced risk of losing the device
  • Less interference with the tagged individual's movement
  • Tracking of juveniles is possible
