Getting cows back in calf in a timely manner is a fundamental part of good dairy farm management. The Alertys OnFarm test supports farmers to find non-pregnant cows as soon as possible after breeding.

Cows with extra days non-pregnant can result in large economic losses (see the graph).

Studies have shown that on average, 12% of suckler cows are not calving. For a herd of 80 cows, that means we have 9 less calves per year.

“Alertys OnFarm allows us to anticipate the pregnancy diagnosis at 28 days and this interval is essential in case of non-pregnant cows. Another advantage of the test is the ease of use.”

“The Alertys OnFarm test will help us to identify cows that get pregnant early. It’ll improve our efficiency tenfold."

“Alertys OnFarm supports the Vet. The test is useful when I cannot perform palpation or when the producer needs to take immediate action and I am not available. The test provides reliable and accurate results.”

“The Alertys OnFarm Pregnancy Test for us has been an unbelievable time-saver because we can do it whenever we want.”

"The Alertys OnFarm pregnancy test is very easy to use and can easily be performed on-farm. The test is comfortable and stress-free for both us and the cows. One of the main advantages is the accuracy of the test, I would recommend it to anyone!"
