Product Overview	The Cattle Pregnancy Detector is a rapid on-farm reproductive testing solution designed to detect pregnancy-associated glycoproteins in bovine blood samples as a marker of pregnancy. The test can be used with EDTA whole blood, EDTA plasma or serum, allowing cattle producers and veterinary teams to perform pregnancy checks without relying exclusively on rectal palpation or ultrasound equipment. The lateral-flow format provides an easy-to-read visual result and is suitable for dairy farms, beef cattle operations, breeding centers, veterinary practices and livestock reproductive management programs.
Key Features	Pregnancy-Associated Glycoprotein Detection: Detects PAGs produced during pregnancy and uses them as a biological marker for bovine pregnancy. Rapid On-Farm Testing: Provides results within approximately 5 to 20 minutes under the specified testing procedure. Multiple Sample Types: Compatible with bovine EDTA whole blood, EDTA plasma and serum. Visual Result Interpretation: Pregnancy status can be interpreted directly from the appearance of control and test lines. No Ultrasound Scanner Required: Allows pregnancy screening without transrectal ultrasound equipment. Suitable for Dairy and Beef Cattle: Designed for cows and heifers in commercial breeding and reproductive management programs. Convenient Farm Workflow: Testing can be performed directly at the farm, helping reduce delays associated with laboratory-only pregnancy testing. Single-Use Test Format: Individual test devices help simplify routine herd testing and reduce cross-sample handling.
Structural Components	Lateral-Flow Test Device: Contains the test membrane, sample port and visual result window. Sample Application Area: Receives the prepared whole blood, plasma or serum sample. Control Line: Confirms that the test has operated correctly when visible. Test Line: Appears according to the presence of detectable pregnancy-associated glycoproteins. Sample Pipette: Used to transfer the required sample volume to the test device. Wash Solution: Applied after the sample to support proper lateral-flow processing. Protective Packaging: Individual sealed packaging helps protect the test device before use.
Working Principle	During bovine pregnancy, the developing placenta produces pregnancy-associated glycoproteins. These proteins circulate in the animal's blood and can be used as biochemical markers of pregnancy. A blood, plasma or serum sample is applied to the lateral-flow test device, followed by the specified wash solution. The sample moves through the test membrane and interacts with reagents designed to detect pregnancy-associated glycoproteins. A valid test produces a control line. When the pregnancy marker is detected, a visible test line also appears. If no test line appears while the control line is present, the animal is interpreted as open according to the test instructions.
Technical Specifications	Product Type Rapid bovine pregnancy detection test Detection Target Pregnancy-associated glycoproteins Primary Animal Cattle, including cows and heifers Test Format Lateral-flow visual test Sample Types EDTA whole blood, EDTA plasma or serum Result Time Approximately 5 to 20 minutes Testing Location On-farm, veterinary clinic or livestock breeding facility Result Type Visual pregnant / open interpretation Test Device Single-use Sample Temperature Before Testing 15–30°C according to the reference test procedure Earliest Bovine Testing Time As early as 28 days after breeding according to the reference pregnancy-test protocol Configuration Available according to project requirements
Applications	Dairy Cow Pregnancy Checking: Supports routine reproductive monitoring of cows and replacement heifers in dairy operations. Beef Cattle Herd Management: Suitable for pregnancy screening in breeding herds and beef cattle production systems. Artificial Insemination Programs: Helps identify pregnant and open animals following breeding or artificial insemination. Early Reproductive Management: Early identification of open animals can support timely veterinary evaluation and rebreeding decisions. Veterinary Field Services: Provides a portable pregnancy-testing option for veterinarians working across multiple farms. Breeding Centers: Suitable for cattle genetics programs, breeding stations and reproductive management facilities. Large Commercial Farms: Can be incorporated into scheduled herd pregnancy-check programs where rapid cow-side results are useful.
Customization Options	Pregnancy testing packages can be prepared according to herd size, testing frequency and project requirements. Available options may include: • Individual test devices • Multi-test farm packages • Sample collection accessories • Pipettes and wash solution • Blood collection consumables • Carrying and storage accessories • Veterinary reproductive testing kits • Distributor and project packaging • Configuration according to project requirements
Installation & Maintenance	No fixed installation is required. Store test devices and accessories according to the manufacturer's specified storage conditions and keep sealed devices protected until use. Before testing, bring samples and test devices to the specified working temperature. Place the test device on a clean, level surface and keep it horizontal throughout the procedure. For EDTA whole blood, mix the sample gently by inversion immediately after collection. Transfer the required sample volume to the sample port using the supplied pipette. Add the specified wash solution within the recommended time after sample application and read the result according to the test instructions. Do not reuse test devices, pipettes or other single-use components. Handle all biological samples as potentially infectious and dispose of used materials according to local veterinary and biosecurity regulations.
Project Cases	Cattle pregnancy detection tests can be incorporated into reproductive management programs for dairy farms, beef ranches, breeding companies, veterinary clinics, artificial insemination centers and livestock service organizations. For commercial farms, testing can be scheduled after breeding to help identify pregnant animals and animals requiring additional reproductive evaluation. The results can be recorded together with animal identification, breeding date, insemination records and herd management information. Large livestock projects can combine rapid pregnancy testing with ultrasound examination, reproductive records and veterinary follow-up to create a more complete herd fertility management program.
Product FAQ	Q: What does this cattle pregnancy detector measure? A: It detects pregnancy-associated glycoproteins in bovine blood, plasma or serum as a marker of pregnancy. Q: How quickly can the result be read? A: Results are typically available within approximately 5 to 20 minutes when the specified procedure is followed. Q: What sample types can be used? A: The reference method supports EDTA whole blood, EDTA plasma and serum from cattle. Q: How early can cattle be tested after breeding? A: The referenced PAG-based pregnancy testing protocol supports bovine pregnancy detection as early as approximately 28 days after breeding, subject to the instructions for the specific test configuration. Q: Does the test require an ultrasound machine? A: No. It is a sample-based biochemical pregnancy test and does not require an ultrasound scanner. Q: How is a pregnant result identified? A: A valid test with both the control line and a visible test line indicates pregnancy according to the test instructions. Q: What does an open result look like? A: If the control line is present but no test line appears, the animal is interpreted as open according to the test procedure. Q: What if the control line does not appear? A: The test is invalid and should be repeated using a new device. Q: Can this test completely replace veterinary pregnancy examinations? A: It is a useful reproductive management tool, but pregnancy status and reproductive problems should be evaluated together with herd records and veterinary examination when necessary.
