Heat Detection System
Calving Sensor
Moocall
Moocall is an innovative device that alerts the farmer when a cow is close to calving. The robust sensor is attached to the cow’s tail, and the sensors detect movements indicating that calving is about to begin. The farmer then automatically receives a text message. The device is attached using a ratchet system, which is protected by a special rubber material on the inside and provides a secure and comfortable grip.
Statement by the Jury
This sensor embodies an innovative spirit and high practical value. Its eye-catching colour makes the device clearly visible at all times.
