Predi'Bov® : an ovulation test for cows
> Allows timing the artificial insemination at the best time. |
![]() |
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® gives the means to synchronize ovulation and Artificial Insemination. 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. > 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. In cows, the pre-ovulatory LH peak induces the ovulation 24 hours later and is therefore the most precise predictor of the optimal timing for artificial insemination (AI). Previous research has shown that AI success rates and results in terms of viable embryo production are significantly improved when AI is carried out 12 hours before ovulation, ie 12 hours after the LH peak (Maurel et al 1994, Lafri et al 2002). The detection of the pre-ovulatory LH peak by using Predi’Bov allows timing the AI at the optimal timewhich is 12 hours after a positive reading of the test. Predi'Bov® allows to : Blood sampling Just a few drops of blood are needed to carry out a test. The blood can be collected at the back of the ear (using the lancet provided), at the jugular vein or at the back of the tail (using a heparin coated-vacutainer tubes). A 3 step process with rinsing phases in-between steps:
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® gives an answer quickly: it takes only 40 minute to carry out.
Predi'Bov® is easy to interpret :
NB : The test is positive whatever the blue color intensity.
LH DETECT® is an immuno-enzymatic assay kit to accurately measure Luteinising Hormone in various animal species.
Cycli'Bov® allows the determination of the absence or the presence of progesterone from a few drops of blood.
