Phone-based cattle health and fertility monitor hotly aniticipated

Dairy farmers will welcome the much anticipated arrival of MooMonitor+, Dairymaster’s much anticipated mobile phone-based cattle health and fertility monitoring device, according to the European commissioner for research and science, Máire Geoghegan-Quinn.

Speaking in Dairymaster’s global headquarters in Causeway, Co Kerry, Ms Geoghegan-Quinn said that industry expectations for the MooMonitor+ are high. She predicts extensive interest in the MooMonitor+ among Irish farmers, in particular.

“It is forecast that the lifting of milk quotas next year could result in strong growth in global demand for dairy products from Europe,” said Ms Geoghegan-Quinn.
