A text message is then sent to the designated phone number the farmer assigns to allow you to be present during calving.

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!" Dr Claire Windeyer DVSc, associate professor, production animal health, University of Calgary explained: 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 togetherTherefore, it is important to know what you are getting before you rule out buying the second technology. 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.” 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 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. 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.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.
