How do I register the Moocall RFID tags?

You can quickly register your Moocall RFID tags using the Breedmanager app.

Steps

  1. Install the Moocall Breedmanager app on your smartphone or tablet

  2. Open the app and scan the QR code on the RFID tag

  3. Assign the tag to the correct animal

Make sure the tag is registered in the app before attaching it to the animal to avoid confusion later.


How Do I Attach a Moocall RFID Tag?

You can attach the tag using a standard universal tag pliers.

  • Place the tag outside the existing ear tag

  • Attach using your tag pliers

Alternative option

If you prefer not to make another hole:

  • You can attach the Moocall tag to the existing management tag

⚠️ However, this may increase the risk of losing one or both tags

If attaching this way, ensure the Moocall tag (logo side) is not hidden behind the other tag.


Can I Remove or Reuse Moocall RFID Tags?

You can remove a Moocall RFID tag from a cow if needed.

However, tags cannot be reused or reassigned to another animal.

Each tag is permanently linked to a specific animal and cannot be reconfigured once registered.


Why Can’t I Use My Existing Department Tag?

Standard department RFID tags have a short read range, which is not suitable for the Moocall system.

Moocall RFID tags are designed with a longer read range, allowing the system to function correctly.

They will not interfere with other tags already in the cow’s ear.


How Long Do Moocall RFID Tags Last?

Moocall RFID tags are made to the same standard as official department ID tags, so they are highly durable and designed to last just as long, if not longer.

  • The RFID component will last as long as the tag remains in the ear

  • Lifespan may vary depending on tag placement and farm conditions

  • If a tag becomes damaged or stops reading, this can be identified by downloading a tag report


Can I Buy Replacement Tags?

Yes — if a tag is lost or damaged, you can purchase replacements.

  • Tags are sold in packs of 25 tags

  • You can register as many tags as needed with your system

Important

  • Each tag is assigned to one animal only

  • Tags cannot be reused or reassigned

  • Proper placement helps reduce the risk of loss
