Foaling System
This foaling system, which comes from America and has been distributed by us since 1989, introduces automatization into the world of horse breeding. The most important difference between this and other systems for the monitoring of mares-in-foal is the high level of reliability which has not previously been available and which this system provides.
Have you ever thought about how much your foal has already cost before it even sees the light of day? So why not invest some money for a successful foaling system? For a relatively small sum, this appliance offers a great number of advantages as compared to other methods.
The most important advantage is that the appliance monitors your mare night and day and thus takes over a large proportion of your responsibility. Your mare will be constantly monitored independently of your own whereabouts. For example, this also means that the mare can give birth to her foals outdoors without any problems. You, the breeder, can once again enjoy a good night’s rest, whilst the appliance warns you in good time. Incidentally, the system may also be used in the case of mares where stitching has been necessary. The foaling system has been developed to help support a monitored foaling. The system is composed of two basic components, the transmitter and the receiver. The small transmitter is sewn on outside the mare’s vulva lips. When the vulva lips are separated the trigger magnet is removed from the transmitter. This means an inaudible radio signal is sent to the receiver, which 1) emits an acoustic alarm and 2) activates any accessories used. In order to activate the receiver, it MUST be placed within the range of the transmitter. This range is approx. 40 m for foaling in the stable (receiver 1) and approx. 250 m for foaling on the paddock (receiver 2). Although these distances are reliable, it is essential to calculate on the basis of the specific foaling situation, since certain obstacles (especially metal) may influence the transmission distance.
Thorough knowledge of the system and its application is essential. Please read this entire instruction leaflet in detail before using the system. It is important to follow all directions carefull.
The Foaling System consists of
- Transmitter
- Receiver
- Central antenna
- Extra bell
- DVD with explanation of how to sew the transmitter on
