IT’S TIME... to know she’s still pregnant

before dry off, with milk pregnancy testing on your DHI samples.

Time to Rest

Least invasive method to confirm pregnancy. Promotes resting time which is associated with improved production. Research shows one hour of lost resting time leads to approximately 3.5 lbs. less milk/day/cow.

Saves Time Conduct through routine DHI samples. Eliminates time and labor to sort, restrain and sample animals.

Now is the Time

At 98% accurate, the milk pregnancy test efficiently identifies pregnancy status before dry off.
