Digital Sow Estrus Detector

• Electrical Resistance Detection: Measures changes in reproductive tract mucus associated with the sow estrous cycle.
• Estrus Timing Assistance: Helps farm personnel evaluate the breeding window when readings are tracked regularly.
• Dual-Ring Electrode Probe: Two parallel ring electrodes at the probe tip provide stable contact for resistance measurement.
• Digital Display: Measurement results are shown directly on the LCD screen for convenient recording and comparison.
• Portable Operation: Handheld construction allows testing directly in gestation and breeding areas.
• 9V Battery Power: Independent battery operation makes the detector convenient for mobile farm use.
• Simple Measurement Process: Suitable for routine reproductive monitoring by trained farm technicians.
• Reusable Probe: The smooth probe can be cleaned and disinfected between animals according to farm biosecurity procedures.
• Breeding Management Support: Useful as an additional tool alongside standing reflex, boar exposure and farm reproductive records.

• Veterinary reproductive management

• Check the detector, display, probe and battery before each testing session.
• Clean and disinfect the probe thoroughly before examining each sow.
• Use an appropriate veterinary disinfectant according to the disinfectant manufacturer's instructions.
• Rinse and dry the probe after disinfection before measurement when required by the cleaning protocol.
• Insert the probe gently to avoid injury to the reproductive tract.
• Use a consistent probe position and measurement procedure for repeated readings.
• Record results for each sow and compare sequential readings rather than relying on a single measurement.
• Clean, disinfect and dry the probe carefully after each animal to reduce cross-contamination risk.
• Do not use boiling water or excessive heat to clean the electronic probe.
• Store the detector in a clean and dry location when not in use.

Q: What does the sow estrus detector measure?
A: It measures changes in the electrical resistance of reproductive tract mucus during the estrous cycle.

Q: How does it help determine estrus?
A: Sequential resistance readings can show a changing pattern associated with the reproductive cycle. This information can be combined with behavioral and physical estrus signs to support breeding decisions.

Q: Can one measurement determine the exact ovulation time?
A: No. Individual animals can have different resistance values. Repeated measurements and trend comparison are more useful than a single reading.

Q: Can it replace traditional estrus detection?
A: It is best used as an additional reproductive management tool together with standing reflex, boar exposure, vulvar signs and breeding records.

Q: Does the probe need to be disinfected?
A: Yes. Thorough cleaning and disinfection between animals is essential for measurement reliability and farm biosecurity.

Q: Can reproductive disease affect the reading?
A: Yes. Inflammation, abnormal secretions and reproductive tract disorders may influence electrical resistance and should be considered when interpreting results.

Q: What animals is this model designed for?
A: It is intended primarily for breeding sows and gilts in commercial pig production.

Q: Is it suitable for artificial insemination programs?
A: Yes. It can provide additional information for estrus monitoring and help farm technicians plan insemination timing more systematically.
