Magic Breed Plus

About

Since 1980 (now 40 years) Magic Breed has been the trusted name for both breeders and horse enthusiasts to help ensure successful foaling. The new Magic Breed Plus builds on this worldwide reputation and brings the Magic Breed design into the 21st century with improved range, battery life and many other new features.

Minimise loss of sleep and long hours of supervision around foaling time: the non-invasive transmitter attaches to the halter and detects when the mare has laid in a foaling position.

The Magic Breed Plus system is also useful for detecting colic and for monitoring horses after major surgery.

How It Works

In the weeks before the foal is due, the mare's halter is fitted with the Magic Breed Plus transmitter.

When the mare lays on its side in a foaling position the transmitter wirelessly sends an alert to the receiver.

The Magic Breed Plus receiver begins beeping and will indicate which mare is foaling.

Features

Non-invasive

The foaling event is detected using an easy to use device which detects when the mare is laying on her side. This device attaches to the halter and thus is completely non-invasive.

Long Range

Magic Breed Plus boasts a far longer range and signal reliability than the previous generation. Depending on conditions a range of over 1km can be achieved (a minimum of 500m in built-up areas).

Long Battery Life

Modern modulation techniques allow the Magic Breed Plus to operate up to an entire season on a pair of AAA batteries. When the batteries are almost empty the user will be alerted so that they can be changed accordingly.

Informative Display

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Magic Breed Plus work with my old Magic Breed system?
Unfortunately, due to the great leap in radio technology used, the Magic Breed Plus system is completely incompatible with the original Magic Breed components. We realise this is is inconvenient but it was a necessary step to ensure that the Magic Breed Plus could overcome all of the problems many people were having with the old design.
Will my old 27MHz antennas I have installed work with the Magic Breed Plus?
The Magic Breed Plus system works on a 917MHz frequency, providing it with superior range and immunity to interference. While this means that it won't work with the 27MHz antenna, we guarantee that the performance is so good that the external antenna won't be necessary!
I have a shed in the line of sight between the foaling yard and the receiver location. Is this a problem?
Due to the higher frequency of operation the Magic Breed Plus signal is much better at working its way around obstacles. About the only thing that will have a significant impact on range is having a hill between the mare and the receiver.
How long do the transmitter batteries last? I had to change them weekly in my last foaling alarm system.
Our testing has shown that one pair of AAA batteries in a transmitter can last up to an entire foaling season. Better still is the fact that the Magic Breed Plus will alert the user when the batteries need to be changed, preventing any guesswork or discarding of batteries that aren't flat.
Can you ship overnight?
Absolutely! In fact, we send all orders via Australia Post Express Post at no extra cost, so you can receive your Magic Breed Plus system in time even if you have left your ordering until the last minute. Just be sure to have your order placed before our post cutoff time of 2pm weekdays.
Do you ship to New Zealand?
We do! Please get in touch with us to arrange the purchase and we can deduct the GST.
Do you ship outside of Australia/New Zealand?
Unfortunately at this stage we don't. The frequency the Magic Breed Plus operates on is not a legal band in all other countries and furthermore we have not attained CE approval for distribution in Europe.
Why is your product so much cheaper than [competitor]
We manufacture the Magic Breed Plus ourselves here in Queensland on the same automated circuit board assembly machines we use for the many various electronics we manufacture. Having this ability in-house allows us to "cut out the middle man" while achieving high quality and maintaining the optimal control of our stock, all of which helps keep prices low.
