1Introduction
The Dairymaster MooMonitor+ is the most advanced animal behavioural analysis
tool in the world.
MooMonitor+ tags are lighter with reduced
power consumption longer battery life along with
extended range allowing the user greater
flexibility with how the system is put into practice.
Dairymasters MooMonitor+ is a complete health
and fertility monitoring system for beef and dairy
cows that pair’s cutting edge technology with a
user-friendly cloud-based software system
spanning Android, IOS, and browser-based
interfaces.
The MooMonitor+ system is designed with the farmer in mind, providing the farmer
important information on the health and fertility of each cow in the herd.
It is the next generation in Cow activity monitoring systems as it measures and
records millions of data points on every animal every day, these data points are
used to identify different activity patterns of every cow.
The information recorded on the MooMonitor+
activity collar is wirelessly transferred to the
internet via the MooMonitor+ Base station which
is installed on site by the installation team.
This data is then interpreted by a Dairymasters
own software programs, which use specially
designed algorithms to analyse the data and
provide the user with accurate information on
each individual animal.
These algorithms have been built based on years of
research and development to turn the raw data
from the cow into usable information that the
farmer can use to better manage the health and
fertility of his herd.
The MooMonitor+ provides the user with health
reports based on different criteria such as
rumination, feeding activity, oestrous activity, lying
time restlessness and much more as the system
develops further.

Canada
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using
an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not
more than that necessary for successful communication."
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). The
operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio
peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur)
approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada.
Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des
autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la
puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité
nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante."

4.1.1 Fitting the MooMonitor+ Collars to the Cows
The MooMonitor+ collar comprises of the strap, the collar sleeve, the
retainer/locking ring, the collar weight, and the MooMonitor+ activity unit.
Fitting of the collar is vital to ensure the MooMonitor+ is giving accurate readings.
The collar must be a snug fit to ensure that all movements are recorded.
A loose fitting collar may increase the risk of the collar snagging on an obstruction
and/or become a choking hazard.
When fitting the MooMonitor+ to the cow, thread the collar through the weight to
the midpoint of the collar strap. Thread the locking ring into place over the weight.
Add the buckle onto one side of the weight and the MooMonitor+ to the opposite
side of the collar strap.
