Moocall

Product Information

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. This is an optional charge and if you decide not to continue using your Moocall sensor you will not be charged. Moocall offers us peace of mind knowing it will “moo” with a message for us on our phones at the start of calving. We accept no responsibility for goods damaged or lost while in transit to us.

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." 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. A dairy farmer in Co. Tipperary has developed an aid for the purpose of when calving is actually taking place.

On the contrary, while the Moocall is a trending calving sensor device, other calving assistance technologies can assist with safe calving or lambing.

About an hour before calving, the sensor sends an alert to your smartphone, giving you enough time to be there for the birth. 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. 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. 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.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. 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.
