The number of Moocall HEAT collars you need depends mainly on your herd size and breeding setup.
Recommended Ratio
As a general guideline:
1 collar per 1 bull per ~50 cows
This ensures:
Sufficient interaction between bull and cows
Accurate heat detection
Consistent system performance
Important Factors
The number of collars required can vary depending on:
Herd size
Number of bulls available
Cow-to-bull ratio
Breeding strategy (AI vs natural service)
⚠️ Too many cows per bull may reduce detection accuracy.
Example: 100-Cow Herd (AI System)
For a herd of 100 cows using AI:
Main herd → 2 bulls = 2 collars
Replacements → 1 bull = 1 collar
Total: 3 collars
