Projects & partners

Taggle Systems is participating in trials with diverse project partners. 

Taggle and partner Agtrix are participating in a Reef Rescue Water Quality Grant for the grazing industry at the Tedlands beef station at Koumala, near Mackay.  Reef Rescue aims to improve the water quality of the Great Barrier Reef lagoon by reducing nutrient, pesticide and sediment load.    Agtrix provides the spatial and time-based databases in this trial project.

Tedlands runs approximately 20,000 head of Droughtmasters.  The cattle tracking trial  covers 12,000 acres, with tags currently on 300 cattle, with plans to tag up to 3,000 cattle.

Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) is funding a project to determine the logistics of developing a calf-alert system to use as a research tool in investigating causes of calf loss.  Dr Scott Norman is a Senior Lecturer in Veteriminary Reproduction at the School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences at the Charles Stuart University and began working on the project in June 2010.  Dr Norman and Dr David Swain (CSIRO) will be working with Taggle Systems in the development and testing of a telemetric calf-alert device.

Mackay Regional Council have installed taggles on the water meters of several public facility buildings, and private households, in the township of Koumala.  The taggles transmit the real-time reading from the meter, enabling early detection of possible problems such as leaks or taps left running.
