Your Benefits.

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.

Saving
money

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

Improving reproductive performance

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.

Working
together

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

Less handling of animals

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.
