XTI Patented PAWS technology for dairy and beef cattle

The first and only patented pulsed lighting device that creates a specific biological systemic response by delivering light directly through the eyes

Utilizing light, only in the visible spectrum, XTi safely targets the specific molecules responsible for receiving light and giving off electrons to the underlying biology. This signals animals to naturally regulate their own beneficial hormones which result in improved production and health.

Our technology works indoors and outdoors

Light Recipes are changed by wireless communication

While to the human eye it appears the lights are on all the time.  In reality the lights are off 75% to 90% of the time.

Colorado State University Study of PAWS on Peripartal Holsteins

The objective was to evaluate the effect of a recently developed technology, Pulsed Alternating Wavelengths System (PAWS™); XTI, on hormonal (melatonin [MEL] and somatotropin [bST]) and neurotransmitter (serotonin [SER]) profiles of peripartal Holstein cows
  • In the CSU study, supporting the possibility of lower stress in the PAWS™ exposed group, a statistical tendency to lower number of lying bouts was established for these cows.
  • The main finding was a lower incidence risk of dystocia in PAWS™ (0%) compared with control (11.9%) cows. Incidence of dystocia in the US (USDA, 2010) are 19% and 11% in primiparous multiparous cows, respectively.
  • Exposure to this specific "recipe" delivered by PAWS™ resulted in lower incidence of dystocia and greater NEFA serum concentrations within 3 days after calving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help finding an answer to your question? Ask our customer service support at suport@xiantinc.com

How do I use the Light?

Lamps are currently being placed 18 ft apart and 8 ft. above the ground at a 45-degree angle over the feed bunk and around the water trough.  If the pens are large, XTI recommends that the entire pen be ringed with lights.
feedlot

How long should I leave the light on?

Because the cattle are free to move in and out of the lights, XTI recommends leaving the lights on 24 hours a day.

How many lamps will I need?

The number of lamps that will be required will depend on the layout and size of the pens.

What voltage do I need

our lamps work with 120-240 volts

What is the power usage of a lamp

XTi lights use the patented Pulsed Alternating Waves of light, which pulse the LEDs at intervals that only have the light on for 10-20% of the time. As a result,  lights generally only use 100-120 watts.
