Moocall

Product Information

In this article, we look at the available technologies that could make the 2023 calving season that bit easier. Moocall monitors your pregnant cow so that you can get on with running your farm. The Moocall calving sensor monitors the contractions to accurately determine when the cow is most likely to calf. Then, let the bull into the field and do his work. All of his movement and activity with the breeding herd is recorded. We use our MooCall Calving Sensor extensively on springing dairy heifers as they approach or go past their projected calving date. Dr Claire Windeyer DVSc, associate professor, production animal health, University of Calgary explained:

If you want to know when a calf is on the way, and want to be there, and want some more rest and sleep, you should really get one of these."

Benefits of the MoocallWithin the first two months of use, five heifers that wore the sensor needed our assistance to safely deliver their calves.

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. Before using the Moocall, our expecting mothers would be routinely monitored hourly, prior to calving. Everyone in the business knows the time and devotion that takes. Moocall was founded in 2015, after its founder, Niall Austin, had his own personal issue with calving (the process of a cow giving birth). Five years earlier, when a cow of his went into labour, Austin couldn’t get to her when she started to give birth. Ultimately, the birth needed so much assistance that, without it, both the cow, and her newborn calf, tragically died. job #jobopportunity #Moocall #MoocallTeam #salestechnician #servicetechnician #farmer #farming #IrishFarmerCentre 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.Around an hour before calving, the sensor sends an alert to your smartphone, giving you enough time to be there for the birth.
