Moocall

Product Information

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 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. 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."

The early detection provided by the sensor allowed us to respond in a prompt, timely manner, ultimately resulting in five live births and no lingering post-partum issues for the heifers. Our sensor has paid for itself several times over and continues to be an important management tool on our farm." Will Gilmer Whether it’s artificial intelligence or a simple piece of equipment, there are several innovations that can help cut losses and make calving season easier.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. We use our MooCall Calving Sensor extensively on springing dairy heifers as they approach or go past their projected calving date. 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 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. Ultimately, Moocall saved the calf and potentially our Highland cow named Fergie. Moocall is a valuable asset for us and will be used on all our Highlands." Jill Ramsay

We accept no responsibility for goods damaged or lost while in transit to us. How do I return a product? About 17-18% of heifers will have complications on their first calving and even cows more experienced at giving birth will struggle 7-8% of the time. Almost 3% of all calves die during birth. This number can be drastically reduced by being present at time of calving. Moocall makes sure you are there when you are most needed & more live births directly impact your operations bottom line. The Moocall calving sensor monitors your pregnant cow so that you can get on with running your farm. Don’t worry, when she needs you, we’ll let you know. With calving and lambing usually taking place on most farms from January until mid-April, it can be difficult to source labour to manage workload evenly across the farm unit. In this article, we look at the available technologies that could make the 2023 calving season that bit easier.

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. 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.”

Saves on time and fuel by only travelling to the yard should an animal require assistance during birth. Created by Irish farmer Niall Austin, with help from Irish technology partners Motech Engineering and Dolmen, Moocall launched commercially in Ireland in January 2015 after four years of product development and prototyping. Moocall has been the winner of numerous design awards, including the Red Dot award. Moocall was nominated for London’s Design Museum Design of the Year award in 2015. To date, Moocall has sold devices to over 2,500 farms across sixteen countries. An estimated 25,000 calves have already been born using Moocall. Moocall, an #agritech partner of Vodafone, had its Calving Sensor #IoT solution, which monitors pregnant cows, featured in the latest series of Jeremy Clarkson's documentary, Clarkson’s Farm. 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. 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.

Features

The Moocallis a non-invasive sensor that will monitor a pregnant cow and notify you by a text message to yourmobile phone when the animal is close to calving. The Moocallworks by attaching to the cow's tail and gathering over 600 pieces of information per second, by monitoring tail movement and other indications Moocallcan accurately predict thetime of birth an hour beforehand . Once the Moocallpredicts the time of birth a text message is sent to the owners mobile phone giving them enough time to be present for the birth of the calf. Benefits of the Moocall in 16 countries already rely on Moocall "I simply could not praise this device enough. I was very sceptical at the start, but now I would not be without it. False trips to calving box are a thing of the past. I no longer watch the camera all night, when I get the text I can judge calving time to perfection. It is 100% accurate. All ye have to do now is develop something to calve the cow!" We discuss technologies in this article such as the famous Moocall, calving cameras, as well as Jim Ryan’s latest calving equipment. A dairy farmer in Co. Tipperary has developed an aid for the purpose of when calving is actually taking place.
