By using both together, they complement each other, making for a more productive calving season. David Noonan, Co. Cork, Ireland. "This product interested me from the start and while I felt I may be taking a gamble, I felt that if it only saved 1 calf it would be worth it. End Result 26 cows, 26 calves. OK, 23 calved unassisted, but the other 3 needed help and Moocall can claim responsibility for ensuring that I was there to assist. This in my mind, is the best farming product to come on the market for some time."

A dairy farmer in Co. Tipperary has developed an aid for the purpose of when calving is actually taking place. Saves on time and fuel by only travelling to the yard should an animal require assistance during birth.

Moocall, an #agritech partner of Vodafone, had its Calving Sensor #IoT solution, which monitors pregnant cows, featured in the latest series of Jeremy Clarkson's documentary, Clarkson’s Farm. We discuss technologies in this article such as the famous Moocall, calving cameras, as well as Jim Ryan’s latest calving equipment. The early detection provided by the sensor allowed us to respond in a prompt, timely manner, ultimately resulting in five live births and no lingering post-partum issues for the heifers. 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.
