| Popis: | Accurate and timely detection of pregnancy in dairy cows is an essential component of today's reproductive management programs. Veterinarians and farmers use early detection of non-pregnant (open) cows to enable faster re-breeding and shorten the calving interval, thereby maximizing milk production and revenue for the farm. The cost for each additional day that a cow is open is estimated to be up to $5 per day. IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. is developing an ELISA for the accurate detection of pregnancy as early as 28 days post-breeding, which provides veterinarians and dairy farmers with another tool for the early identification of open cows.
