WINTERWOOD FARM ~ Breeding for Excellence

When it comes to foaling, on-time human intervention – if needed – is crucial to ensure a successful outcome. This also applies to horses after surgery or for detecting colic.

Magic Breed has earnt the trust of breeders and veterinarians as a crucial frontline tool.

This is a non-invasive approach for the animal, the pouch is small & lightweight attaching to the halter which tucks up underneath. You will be alerted when the animal lays down, which would indicate foaling or a health issue, depending on which scenario you are monitoring.

This product was designed and manufactured here in Australia over 40 years ago and continues to be manufactured here in Australia. Starting with the original Magic Breed, this system has continued to service breeders for well over 30 years in Australia and New Zealand. In recent years we have moved with technology hence the birth of the Magic Breed Plus system, giving breeders a plethora of enhanced features. We do still support the original Magic Breed system as there are still many systems going strong out there after 20-30 years of use.

NO WIFI, NO PHONE SERVICE required, NO DROP-OUTS! Magic Breed Plus’s operating system works on a 917MHz frequency, providing it with greatly improved immunity to interference and superior range –500m is no problem and in excess of 1km is possible. All you require is power to plug in the base station (receiver)

While this means that it won’t work with the 27MHz antenna from the original Magic Breed system, we guarantee that the performance is so good that the external antenna won’t be necessary.

You can monitor up to 8 mares at the same time on the same system. If you need more, just add another Receiver base. If you have two locations on your property that you require to be alerted at the same time, we can accommodate that as well.

The addition of an LCD display on the Magic Breed Plus receiver provides a wealth of operator feedback. This includes signal strength and battery level, along with individual identification for up to 8 transmitters.

Your Magic Breed Plus foaling alarm kit is supplied in a POLYPROPYLENE RUBBER SEALED IPX7 water resistant rugged carry case for protection during storage and transportation, it employs a UV resistant rubber seal to ensure dirt and moisture stay outside of the case and is shock absorbing!

Outside the case, it includes a built-in pressure release valve to ensure internal pressure to be equalised with ambient external pressure. This ensures a reliable seal at all times.

Magic Breed Plus with its 100% Solid State Technology does not require regular servicing or adjustments.
