Remember the ‘Fitbit for cows’, the wearable that helped farmers increase milk yields? Well, they just announced that they’re part of Y Combinator’s winter ’17 batch.
Cowlar, which started up in Pakistan but is now headquartered in California, builds a tracking wearable that monitors the body temperature and behavior of cows. That allows farmers to detect when the animal is in heat and the best time for insemination.
