ESTROTECT HEAT BREEDING INDICATOR PATCH PINK FUSHISA 50 PACK 78003-50
The Estrotect Breeding Indicator featuring patent pending Breeding Bullseye technology makes it easier than ever to identify cows that are in heat, pinpoint timing for AI and Timed AI protocols, as well as confirm successful pregnancies.
Estrotect is one of the best ways to tell when a cow is on heat.
Its simple design means there is no messy glue. Just peel it off the backing paper and stick it on the cow.
Apply Estrotect to your beef or dairy cows before you start mating or following the use of CIDR devices or prostaglandin to synchronise oestrus.
When cows are mounted during standing heat, the scratch off surface of the Estrotect patch is rubbed off to expose the brilliant fluoro coloured layer underneath.
The Estrotect patch is designed to indicate when the cow is in standing heat – some of the other dye capsule type detectors can be set off by a few seconds of riding.
More and more of the silver Estrotect surface is removed via friction each time a cow or heifer is mounted.
When more of the fluorescent colour indicator is visible than the silver scratch-off surface, the closer the cow or heifer is to standing heat.
You can glean more information from an Estrotect than a simple ‘on/off’ indicator.
Estrotect Heat Detectors are self-adhesive and are placed between the hip and tail head.
They are one of the quickest oestrus detection products to apply, as you simply peel and stick.
Common Questions
How do I use an Estrotect patch?
Estrotect patches are self-adhesive. Simply peel the patch off the backing paper and stick it between the hip and tail head of the cow. Apply before you start mating or after using CIDR devices or prostaglandin to synchronise oestrus.
How do I know if a cow is in heat using Estrotect?
When a cow is mounted during standing heat, the silver scratch-off surface on the patch gets rubbed away, exposing a brilliant fluorescent coloured layer underneath. The more fluorescent colour you can see compared to the remaining silver surface, the closer the cow is to standing heat. This gives you more information than a simple yes/no indicator.
What's the difference between Estrotect and other heat detectors?
Estrotect uses patent pending Breeding Bullseye technology and is designed to indicate standing heat specifically. Some other dye capsule detectors can be triggered by just a few seconds of riding, whereas Estrotect requires actual friction from mounting to scratch off the surface. This helps you pinpoint the right timing for AI and Timed AI protocols, and confirm successful pregnancies.
Can I use Estrotect on both beef and dairy cows?
Yes, Estrotect can be applied to both beef and dairy cows.
