Report

Inform your milk recorder before milking commences, which cows you would like to be tested for pregnancy using the milk pregnancy test. AI records must be known by Munster Bovine and be accurate.

Milk samples are then collected and transported to your laboratory.

As part of routine milk control, your samples can be tested for pregnancy specific proteins (PAG's), indicating if a cow is pregnant or not.

Trusted ELISA technology provides accurate results of 98.7% on par with palpation and ultrasound.

When results are ready, they're posted out to you.

Your Benefits

Saving money

Accurate results

The test detects a highly specific marker of pregnancy: pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAGs). Unlike progesterone levels that fluctuate naturally during a cycle, PAGs are only produced in the presence of an embryo or fetus.

Research determined that the cost of 1 empty cow alone is approximately 5 euro per day. Therefore if you don’t have to wait 2 weeks or more for pregnancy checks to find empty cows, you can save a lot of money.

Less handling of animals

Improving reproductive performance

The test can easily be implemented in your routine milk recording offered by your own lab. That means less handling and no extra stress for your animals.

Early identification of empty cows allows for early rebreeding, which assists in improving reproductive performance.

Empty cow detection throughout gestation

Workingtogether

With the IDEXX Milk Pregnancy Test, empty cows can be detected throughout gestation as soon as 28 days after breeding.

Reproductive efficiency improves when producers, veterinarians, breeding companies work together.

Test options

Reproductive performance improves when farmers, veterinarians and breeding companies work together to identify open animals throughout gestation and to take appropriate action.

Early Test: From 28 days post AI

Pre dry-off:Late gestation

Confirmation Test:70-110 days

Early detection of cows, assists in early rebreeding. 10-12% of cows have embryonic loss between 25-60 days post AI.

Prevent treatment cost of empty cows and pregnant cows from being slaughtered.

Rebreed empty cows while still economically viable.
