Product Information

This charge will be clearly marked on an applicable products and will be explained on the checkout page before payment has been made. You’re on high alert, jolted into consciousness by anxiety and paranoia, racking your brain to remember the last time you checked in. 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.

About an hour before calving, the sensor sends an alert to your smartphone, giving you enough time to be there for the birth. Please note that this is an optional payment so if you decide not to continue using your sensor, you don't have to pay. Here at Agridirect we have joined forces with DPD to ensure all packages are delivered promptly and safely to you. We do not want anything in there that is going to be in the way of that calf bringing air into the lungs. Despite misconceptions of the often derogatorily labelled “ancient” profession, the farming industry is one desperate for new tech.

According to a report in Canadian Cattlemen, you might need one sensor for 30 cows, "depending on your calving schedule and system".

Moreover, installing a camera can save a considerable amount of time checking on cows without wasting frequent visits to the shed. Should you predict that difficult calvings ay take place on your farm this season, the Calving Assist is another asset that may protect your mortality rates, as well as protecting the health of cows and calves. Let’s say, this week, you have ten cows that are due to give birth,” Neil told me, “or ten that are due to cycle… The app, through the lists, prioritises them and lets the farmer know which cows to focus on.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. After making a big splash at the National Ploughing Championships in Ireland in 2014, the company has three main products that do this: a calving sensor, a “heat” monitor, and an app to manage them both. In this article, we look at the available technologies that could make the 2023 calving season that bit easier.

Saves on time and fuel by only travelling to the yard should an animal require assistance during birth.

Vodafone's IoT platform supports the Narrowband Internet of Things (Nb-IoT) standard which provides "extended coverage - rural and deep indoors" along with higher spectrum efficiency and better battery life. Available technology, equipment and knowledge are all tools to protect animals during the calving period. Should these issues arise in your area, incorporating a camera onto your farm is a suggested security measure. It’s a technology solution for a very low-tech process that is saving both the lives of cows and calves, and the sanity of those who rely on them for their livelihoods. Then we send an SMS alert to up to 2 phones to ensure that you can be present when calving occurs, usually about 1 hour prior to calving.

According to Vodafone, more than 110,000 calves and around 50,000 cows die every year due to birth complications.Neil explained that, before using this technology, farming methods for tracking and managing cow breeding were archaic. Previously, farmers would have to manually keep track of when all of their cows (often hundreds) had been inseminated, when they were due to give birth, which cows had what complications, which cows had taken certain medications, and, because of all this information, which cows needed the most pressing attention at any given time. There are great benefits to using AI, such as access to top genetics, a better selection on the type of sire used and semen quality and with some consideration and good management it can be done successfully on many suckler farms. 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. Then the monitor sends an alert to the farmer so the farmer knows it’s time to bring in a breeding bull.
