Moocall

Product Information

Moocall is a calving sensor worn on a cow’s tail that measures over six hundred data points every second to determine the onset of calving. The device then sends a text alert to two mobile phones roughly an hour before calving, to ensure that the cattle breeder can be on location when a calf is born. Saves on time and fuel by only travelling to the yard should an animal require assistance during birth. On the contrary, while the Moocall is a trending calving sensor device, other calving assistance technologies can assist with safe calving or lambing. Using a camera Both devices have many advantages, some that the other technology does not cover. By using both together, they complement each other, making for a more productive calving season.

We accept no responsibility for goods damaged or lost while in transit to us. How do I return a product? In addition, there are no installation costs; you do not need to have any internet in your shed, and there is no need to run wires underground. Access to 'MyMoocall' - a dashboard to monitor alerts, battery status and easily control phone numbers associated with your device. Also FREE mobile apps which include device management, herd management and community support. This is an optional charge and if you decide not to continue using your Moocall sensor you will not be charged. Then, take a clean hand and remove any fluid that might be in the calf’s mouth. We do not want anything in there that is going to be in the way of that calf bringing air into the lungs.” Using technologies togetherMoocall was invented when Irish farmer Niall Austin lost a calf and a cow due to an unexpected difficult calving. He believed that this could have been prevented if he had been there to assist and began looking for a solution. He did not want to use an invasive device and believed tail movement could help anticipate calving. Moocall removes the need for farmers to keep vigil over pregnant cows and helps increase live births and farm profitability. The device, which can be moved simply from cow to cow once calving takes place, uses 3D motion sensors, algorithms, and an embedded SIM card that connects to the phone network.

After 12 months there is an annual cost of €150 (€122 + VAT), This annual fee gives you another 12 months of unlimited use and support from Moocall. In comparison, the Moocall will send an alert only if contractions are occurring. This alert is raised approximately two hours and one hour before calving commences. This non-invasive, tail mounted sensor gathers over 600 pieces of data per second. It can accurately predict when your cow is most likely to give birth by measuring tail movement patterns. When they reach a certain level of intensity over a period of time it then sends an SMS text alert directly to your mobile phone on average 1 hour prior to calving. Moocall clips on and off the tail with ease & moving it from cow to cow is simple.When it comes to their heat sensor product, the benefit is less about a lifestyle change, and more about the enormity of time saved. “Rather than having to go out and look for physical signs of mating behaviour, farmers don’t have to do any of that – it’s all automated,” Neil said. “It was quite laborious, quite a labour intensive process before.” Despite misconceptions of the often derogatorily labelled “ancient” profession, the farming industry is one desperate for new tech. With understaffing, employees consistently working off-farm, and farmers often having little extra labour to help out, this is one industry that could really use new tools and technology to lend a hand. However, many aspects of farming remain thoroughly undisrupted, including how farm animals are born. One company wants to change that – and it has the cow-copulation technology to do it. Once you activate the device you will receive 12 months of service,support , text messages and unlimited use.
