M ost heat detection methods involve looking at the cow to try and determine when the cow is in heat . Moocall HEAT is different , it uses nature to its advantage and monitors the bulls behaviour and his interaction with cows . Think of it like a chin ball for the 21st century . It doesn ' t need to be monitored or adjusted , and sends the information straight to a farmer ’ s phone . The product • A rechargeable collar ( 8 weeks battery life ) to be worn by either a stock bull or a vasectomised bull .
• RFID Moocall ear tags - one worn on each cow or heifer . These are passive , so they are designed to last the lifetime of the animal .
• Moocall HEAT measures bull and cow interaction over time , to build up a picture of the animals in the field . Then based on frequency of interaction over time , alongside bull activity and mounting

Moocall BREEDMANAGER
Your Moocall HEAT sensor will automatically update the Moocall BREEDMANAGER mobile application . This means that heats , repeats , due dates and more will all be auto-updated within your herd management app . You won ' t fully appreciate the value of this until you use it , but trust us , it ' s incredible .
For example , if you had Moocall HEAT on a stock bull , Moocall BREEDMANAGER will let you know when each cow was in heat , when the bull inseminated her , watch her to make sure she doesn ' t repeat ( and let you know if she does ) and then mark her in calf once she doesn ' t repeat , and let you know the due date . Oh , we ' ll also remind you before she is due to calve so you can get your Moocall calving sensor on there !
On a vasectomised or teaser bull , all of the same information would be added , the only difference is you need to tell us
|
when you inseminated her , and to which bull . Don ' t worry , we make it really easy to do this .
