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 was invented when Irish farmer Niall Austin lost a calf and a cow due to an unexpected difficult calving. He believed that this could have been prevented if he had been there to assist and began looking for a solution. He did not want to use an invasive device and believed tail movement could help anticipate calving. Moocall removes the need for farmers to keep vigil over pregnant cows and helps increase live births and farm profitability. The device, which can be moved simply from cow to cow once calving takes place, uses 3D motion sensors, algorithms, and an embedded SIM card that connects to the phone network. 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. 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.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 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. Our sensor has paid for itself several times over and continues to be an important management tool on our farm."

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. 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.
