Product Overview	The On-Farm Ruminant Pregnancy Rapid Test is a convenient lateral-flow testing solution designed to support pregnancy detection directly at livestock farms. It detects pregnancy-associated glycoproteins, commonly known as PAGs, which are produced in association with pregnancy. The test is designed for reproductive management applications involving cattle and selected other ruminants, including goats and sheep according to the applicable test protocol. It allows farm personnel, veterinarians and breeding technicians to obtain visual pregnancy-status results without operating a conventional laboratory analyzer. For cattle, compatible sample types can include EDTA whole blood, EDTA plasma or serum. The rapid visual format provides results within approximately 5 to 20 minutes, making the test suitable for routine herd pregnancy screening, breeding follow-up and identification of open animals.

Suitable for Commercial Herds: Practical for dairy farms, beef operations, breeding centers and livestock veterinary services.
Structural Components	Pregnancy Test Device: Lateral-flow cassette containing the test and control reaction areas. Sample Port: Receives the prepared blood, plasma or serum specimen according to the applicable protocol. Test Line Area: Develops a visible colored line when pregnancy-associated glycoproteins are detected at the required level. Control Line Area: Confirms that the test has operated correctly and supports valid result interpretation. Sample Transfer Pipette: Used to transfer the specified volume of specimen to the test device. Wash Solution: Added during the test procedure to support sample migration and reaction development. Individual Protective Packaging: Keeps each test device protected until use. Optional Sample Collection Accessories: Collection tubes, needles and other farm-testing supplies can be configured according to procurement requirements.
Working Principle	During pregnancy, ruminants produce pregnancy-associated glycoproteins associated with placental tissue. These proteins can be detected in suitable blood-derived samples and used as markers of pregnancy. A specified amount of sample is transferred to the test cassette. After the required wash solution is added, the sample migrates through the lateral-flow membrane and reacts with test components designed to detect PAGs. The result window contains a control region and a test region. A valid control line confirms correct test operation. When a visible red or pink test line develops according to the product instructions, the result is interpreted as pregnant. A valid control line without a test line indicates an open or nonpregnant result. If the control line does not appear, the result is invalid and the test should be repeated using a new device.

Installation & Maintenance	No permanent installation is required. Store test devices and accessories under the conditions stated in the product instructions and keep individual test packages sealed until use. Before testing, bring the required test materials and samples to the specified operating temperature. For EDTA whole blood, mix the collected sample gently according to the test instructions before transferring it to the cassette. Place the required sample into the sample port using the supplied or compatible transfer device. Add the specified wash solution within the required procedure time and keep the test cassette on a suitable surface while the reaction develops. Read the result within the specified interpretation window. Do not interpret a test outside the recommended reading period. The rapid test cassette is intended for single use. Dispose of used test devices, blood collection materials and other biological waste according to local farm biosecurity and veterinary waste-management procedures.
Project Cases	On-farm ruminant pregnancy rapid tests can be incorporated into reproductive management programs for dairy farms, beef cattle ranches, goat farms, sheep operations, breeding centers and veterinary service companies. In large herds, scheduled testing can be used to identify animals requiring rebreeding or further reproductive examination. Rapid testing may also complement veterinary ultrasound and palpation programs by providing an additional blood-based pregnancy screening option. For integrated livestock projects, pregnancy tests can be supplied together with blood collection tools, artificial insemination equipment, animal identification products and other reproductive management supplies.
Product FAQ	Q: What does this pregnancy test detect? A: It detects pregnancy-associated glycoproteins, or PAGs, in suitable blood-derived samples as markers associated with pregnancy. Q: How quickly can the result be obtained? A: The lateral-flow test provides visual results approximately 5 to 20 minutes after completing the sample and wash-solution steps. Q: Does it require an electronic reader? A: No. Results are interpreted visually from the control and test lines. Q: Which samples can be used for cattle? A: Validated bovine sample options include EDTA whole blood, EDTA plasma and serum. Q: How early can cattle be tested? A: Validated OnFarm performance information supports testing from approximately 28 days after breeding in cattle. Q: Can cows be tested immediately after calving? A: No. Residual PAGs from a previous pregnancy can affect interpretation. The validated OnFarm bovine performance information specifies an appropriate postpartum interval, including approximately 70 days in published performance data. Q: Can the test be used for goats and sheep? A: Yes, selected OnFarm ruminant protocols include goats and sheep. Testing time and sample requirements should follow the instructions validated for each species. Q: What does a visible test line mean? A: When the control line is valid, a red or pink test line is interpreted as a pregnant result according to the test instructions. Q: What does an open result mean? A: A valid control line with no test line indicates an open or nonpregnant result at the time of testing. Q: What if the control line does not appear? A: The test is invalid and should be repeated with a new test device. Q: Can this test completely replace veterinary pregnancy examination? A: It is a pregnancy-status screening and management tool. Veterinary ultrasound, palpation or additional examination may still be appropriate depending on herd protocol, animal condition and reproductive management objectives.
