Full Description

Predi'Bov® is an ovulation test specifically designed for use on cattle. The timing of ovulation can be determined by using the test (carried out on a few drops of whole blood,) which detects the LH peak which does set off the ovulation 24 hours later.

Predi'Bov® allows its user to determine and anticipate precisely the optimal timing to carry out an artificial insemination which is 12 hours after a positive test reading.

Predi'Bov® is an ovulation test specifically designed for use on cattle. The timing of ovulation can be determined by using the test (carried out on a few drops of whole blood,) which detects the LH peak which does set off the ovulation 24 hours later.
Predi'Bov® allows its user to determine and anticipate precisely the optimal timing to carry out an artificial insemination which is 12 hours after a positive test reading.

> An ovulation test for use on farm.

 Predi'Bov® can be used on cows and heifers and has been tested on several breeds (Holstein, Montbéliarde, Charolaise, Blonde d’Aquitaine ...). Predi'Bov may be used on farm or in stations by anybody involved in the husbandry of the female (farmer, technician, veterinary surgeon). It will detect the LH peak either in a natural cycle or in an artificially induced cycle.

> Simple colour reading, no risk of false positives.

Predi'Bov® is easy to use, no need for special kit.
Predi'Bov® gives an answer quickly: it takes only 40 minute to carry out.
Predi'Bov® is easy to interpret:

  • if the stick stays white, there is no LH peak, the female is not ready for insemination
  • if blue appears on the stick, the LH peak is happening, the female should be inseminated 12 hours later
