Product Image
Product Overview	The Livestock Estrus and Ovulation Detector is a portable reproductive management instrument designed to help breeders identify estrus and determine a suitable mating or artificial insemination period. The device works by measuring changes in the electrical resistance of vaginal mucus during the reproductive cycle. Instead of relying only on behavioral signs, repeated numerical measurements allow farm personnel to monitor resistance trends and obtain additional objective information about reproductive status. This is especially useful when estrus signs are weak, irregular or difficult to observe. Species-specific configurations can be supplied for cattle and mares, sows, goat-farming-equipment/" target="_blank" class="keylink">sheep and goats. The detector is suitable for commercial livestock farms, breeding centers, artificial insemination stations, veterinary reproductive services and genetic improvement programs.

Veterinary Measurement Probe: Long probe designed for controlled vaginal insertion during reproductive examination. Electrode Tip: Metal electrodes positioned near the probe end contact vaginal mucus and provide the electrical resistance measurement. Handheld Housing: Ergonomic body provides stable handling during livestock examination. Operating Keys: Allow measurement, menu navigation, animal record selection and other functions according to configuration. Power Supply: Battery-powered construction supports mobile use without requiring a fixed electrical connection. Optional Data Interface: USB communication is available on selected configurations for data transfer and software updates.
Working Principle	Physiological and hormonal changes during the estrous cycle influence the composition and electrical characteristics of vaginal mucus. These changes produce measurable variations in electrical resistance. During examination, the properly cleaned and disinfected probe is inserted into the reproductive tract according to the operating procedure for the animal species. The sensing electrodes contact the vaginal mucus and the instrument measures its electrical resistance. Rather than interpreting a single isolated value, measurements are preferably repeated at consistent intervals. The changing resistance pattern can then be compared with previous readings to provide additional information about progression through estrus and the appropriate breeding period. The detector is a reproductive management aid. Measurement results should be considered together with behavioral signs, breeding records, physical examination and professional veterinary assessment where required.
