Welcome to Monil’s system for virtual fencing and animal monitoring.

1. Description of Products and Services
Monil provides systems consisting of cattle and sheep collars and related interfaces, such as mobile applications, that create a user-defined “virtual fence.” The collars use audio and electric cues to help contain animals. Proper use requires following the Monil User Manual. The system is not a replacement for physical fencing or routine livestock inspections and no one should solely rely on virtual fencing at any time including but not limited to when there is inherent risk to livestock, humans, or other valuable assets. For the avoidance of doubt, the Monil system is not intended to replace physical fencing, regular livestock inspections, or responsible animal management practices.
