Description
Agrihealth Calving Aid – Moorepark Head
The Agrihealth Calving Aid – Moorepark Head is engineered to provide safe, controlled assistance during difficult calvings. Designed with both operator and animal welfare in mind, this professional-quality calving aid combines a lightweight yet exceptionally strong aluminium construction with innovative features that improve control throughout the calving process.
Manufactured from high-grade aluminium, the 1800mm shaft is corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for demanding farm environments while remaining easy to handle. The square-profile pole allows smooth, controlled rotation, helping you achieve the correct pulling angle when repositioning the calf.
The anatomically designed Moorepark-style rotating head enhances ergonomics by optimising traction direction and reducing unnecessary stress on both the cow and calf. Deep-cut grooves along the shaft allow the traction mechanism to glide smoothly and accurately, delivering consistent performance when precision matters most.
For added peace of mind, the integrated automatic release mechanism activates if excessive traction is applied, helping to reduce the risk of injury during assisted calving.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of a Moorepark rotating head?
The Moorepark rotating head is designed to improve the pulling angle during assisted calving, providing better alignment while helping to minimise stress on both the cow and calf.
Is the aluminium shaft strong enough for difficult calvings?
Yes. The high-grade aluminium construction offers an excellent balance of strength and lightweight handling, making it suitable for demanding calving situations while remaining easy to manoeuvre.
How does the automatic release mechanism work?
The automatic release mechanism disengages when excessive traction is applied, helping to reduce the risk of over-pulling and improving safety during assisted deliveries.
Is the calving aid corrosion resistant?
Yes. The aluminium construction naturally resists corrosion, making it ideal for long-term use in agricultural environments.
