    Our Story

    • Our Story

      The idea for the Moocall calving sensor came about when one of the Moocall founding team, Niall Austin lost a heifer and her calf due to a difficult calving back in 2010. He had a theory that a device to measure tail movement might be able to predict the onset of calving and brought the idea to the other Moocall founders Michael Stanley and Emmet Savage. 

      As they looked into the issue, it became apparent that far too many cows and calves were being lost during the calving process. Bovine mortality rates today are comparable to mankind giving birth unassisted centuries ago. It looked like this high mortality rate could be drastically lowered by utilising technology to monitor labour and triggering an alert prior to calving occurring. Simply being present at the birth to assist if needed, or call the vet to intervene if necessary, would have a beneficial impact on the health and safety of both cow and calf. 

    • The Calving Sensor is born

      Over the following years the three of them put a plan and a team into place to create a product to help solve this issue.

      The first Moocall product, the Moocall calving sensor, launched at the National Ploughing Championships in September 2014. Prototypes generated a huge amount of interest with more than 500 units being pre-ordered and thousands of farmers registering their interest in the product.

      Moocall launched the Moocall Calving Sensor commercially in January 2015. Since then over 25000 sensors have been sold worldwide and the general reaction from customers has been phenomenal. Moocall is currently monitoring cows, heifers and unborn calfs in over 60 different countries around the world.

    • Continued Innovation

      Since the worldwide success the calving sensor, the Moocall team have developed two other products:

      Moocall BREEDMANAGER

      We released our free herd management software, called Breedmanager in 2017.This mobile app shows you your breeding herd based on their current breeding status, rather than showing you all your animals. The Breedmanager app is also fully integrated with our sensor products, which update the app with information about your herd automatically.

      Moocall HEAT

      In September 2017 Moocall announced Moocall HEAT. This device is a heat detection system which sends a text when your cow is in standing heat. The system comes in two parts; a collar worn by a bull, and RFID eartags attached to each cow/heifer.The system then monitors the activity of the bull around the herd and feeds  the farmer information such as exact times of standing heat, due dates and in-calf notifications, and much more.
